01
Step 1
Start by mixing together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Take half of this marinade and toss it with the pork, then pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours, or even overnight if you have the time. Keep the rest of the sauce aside for later.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the udon noodles for about 2 minutes, then add the broccoli to the pot and let it all cook for another minute or so until the noodles loosen up and the broccoli is just tender. Drain everything and set it aside.

Step 3
Heat some olive oil in a wok or a deep pan over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the marinated pork, bean sprouts, and carrot, and keep stir-frying until the pork is cooked through, around 5 minutes.

Step 4
Now add the drained udon and broccoli back into the pan. Pour in the remaining marinade and toss everything together so the noodles soak up all those flavors. Let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the green onions and give it one last gentle toss before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a perfect balance of spicy heat and savory flavors, making it both comforting and exciting. The chewy udon noodles soak up the sauce beautifully, creating a satisfying texture in every bite. It’s quick to make but feels special enough for any meal.
How to serve
Serve this dish hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. It pairs well with a light side salad or steamed dumplings to balance the boldness of the noodles.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce and keep the noodles from drying out.
