- Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions (8–10 minutes for dried or 3–4 minutes for fresh/frozen).

- Mix well until fully combined.
- Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until thick, glossy, and gently bubbling.
4. Toss the Noodles
- Drizzle in the sesame oil and stir through.
- Add the cooked udon noodles to the pan.
- Toss continuously for 1–2 minutes until every noodle is evenly coated and heated through.
5. Garnish & Serve
- Divide between two serving bowls.
- Garnish generously with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
- For an extra indulgent touch, top with a soft-boiled marinated egg and serve alongside kimchi.
