Udon Noodles With Ginger Pork
"Very nice, tasty recipe that is easy to put together and not too expensive to make. It is from the Bon Appetit internet web site by Claire Saffitz. Some changes by me. If you like separate the noodles be soaking them in 6 cups of boiling water for 1 minute. You may omit the Mirin and slightly increase the Soy. The recipe serving sizes are for hearty appetites You may make this Vegetarian by omitting the pork"
