Beef Udon Meal Prep Recipe 💕

When I went to Japan earlier this year, beef udon was one of my favorite dishes. Although this recipe does not compare to what I ate in Japan, it hits the spot, it's easy to make, and it's fairly low calorie and high protein. All in all, a keeper.

This article includes the ingredients you will need, directions for making the dish as a meal preparation, and a nutrition summary of the dish.

Ingredients

-1lb Laura's Lean Ground Beef

-McCormick Himalayan Pink Salt with Black Pepper and Garlic All Purpose Seasoning

-Ka-me Udon Stirfry Noodles (package should contain 4 servings with 2 individual packages)

-5oz package kale

-8oz sliced mushrooms (I used white, but any kind you enjoy works)

-80ml low sodium tamari sauce (about 1/3 cup)

Directions

1. Heat frying pan, spray with cooking oil if needed, and add ground beef. Season woth McCormick All Purpose Seasoning and cook until all the meat is browned.

2. While the beef is cooking, follow the cooking instructions on the Ka-me udon noodles and cook them in the microwave. Ultimately, you will poke holes one of the bags, microwave it for 90 seconds, and then repeat with the other bag.

3. Divide the noodles into four servings. They may be somewhat sticky, but adding the sauce in a later step with help the noodles separate.

4. When the beef is finished cooking, add one fourth of it to each container of noodles.

5. Set the pan you used to cook the beef back on the burner, spray again if needed, and add the kale. Cook the kale until it is halfway wilted and add the mushrooms, which you will cook until they brown slightly.

6. Add the tamari sauce to the vegetable mixure and continue cooking for 1-3 minutes or until everything looks well integrated.

7. Pour some of the sauce from the pan into each container, using tongs or a wooden spoon the keep the vegetables in place. Then separate the vegetables equally into each container.

8. Let the food cool, and then store in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days, or freeze them if you need to eat them later.

9. You could also make this for a non meal-prep and enjoy it fresh with family and friends or by yourself and store the rest as leftovers.
