Chadolbaegi (Thinly Sliced Brisket) Udon Stirfry

This is going to be a shorter post with less pictures because I didn’t make this dish with plans to share the recipe. I made this dish on a whim because I was craving an udon stir-fry, but it turned out so delicious that I had to share with all of you!

Thinly sliced brisket, or chadolbaegi in Korean, is often eaten with mungbean sprouts (sukju) and Korean/Chinese chives (boochu) in Korea. I decided to stir fry them up with some udon noodles and a quick sauce and this was the result!

I love the texture of the crunchy sprouts against the chewy noodles. The flavor from the chives goes so well with the beef and the sauce just takes this noodle dish to the next level. I seriously enjoyed every single bite of this dish and will be making it over and over again. You’ll have to make a trip to the Korean market to make this dish, but trust me it’ll be worth your time!
