View ProfileYaki udon is a classic Japanese dish where thick noodles are stir-fried with a mild, savory sauce, veggies, and any choice of protein. Here that's a special blend of seafood and shellfish including octopus, shrimp, and fish, stir-fried alongside fresh cabbage, grated carrot, and onion. Chef Esther's yaki udon sauce has a secret weapon: a little gochugaru, a fragrant Korean chile powder that adds just a little hint of spice.
