2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

package fresh udon noodles (about 3 1/2 oz or 100 g), loosened to separate into individual noodles

Directions
1. Put the beef, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in the bottom of a lidded 16-ounce heat-safe container, and mix.

Tips and Substitutions
Special equipment: a lidded 16-ounce heat-safe container
You can find fresh udon noodles in Asian markets and some supermarkets. They are usually packaged in portion-size bricks with accompanying soup base packets. If you can't find fresh udon noodles, purchase dried udon noodles, then boil them and rinse in cold water before using in this recipe.Beef base is a highly concentrated form of stock. You can find it in paste or powdered form next to the bouillon in your grocery store.
