    Great recipe, and quite authentic. The sauce is superbly good, even if you don’t have all the exact ingredients.
    For all those who struggle getting ingredients: use spaghetti instead of udon. Yes, not the same but it works. I think I also once read that if you add baking soda to the cooking water it will add the chewy texture. Those sugar bulbs you can swap for brown or even white sugar, dark soy sauce tastes the same as normal soy sauce, it’s mostly visual. Mirin can be substituted for white wine and sugar, rice vinegar can be replaced with the mildest white vinegar in your house but watered down to 30-50% concentration while keeping the total quantity.Shirodashi is made of seaweed, you could make your own from kombu algae but to keep it quick and simple add more msg, both ultimately are umami flavours. Oyster sauce is tricky, but luckily it’s getting more popular and available. Comment if you know how to substitute that one ☺️

    • @FinalHeresy

      @Chinhann Před rokem +4

      This is not authentic at all lol. The noodles are not udon at all and the sauce is not for Yaki udon at all. Yaki udon sauce is simpler.
      But if you wanna make this specific Yaki udon (ugh I don’t wanna call the noodles udon but anyways) , you can substitute spaghetti for the noodles. Cheap ones should be better because you’re gonna stir fry the noodles later.

      @@Chinhann I agree it’s not the authentic “yaki udon”. Udon noodles are supposed to be white wheat noodles (no eggs added). It could be yaki soba (used with egg noodles) instead. The sauce is not the standard Japanese yaki udon/soba but it’s not a strict rule, I’ve seen yaki udon/soba with salt flavor. The easy way to recreate the sauce is with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. It’s supposed to be a rich and fruity sauce. Substituting with spaghetti doesn’t sound right to me though. Better substitute with some sort of white noodles or even rice like yaki meshi. Although Yaki udon/soba is pretty flexible so anything can be used as long as it’s stir-fried.

      Just improvise. I don't eat pork so I'll use some other meat. I don't have palm sugar though i do have cane sugar and white sugar, will probably use either of those, and as he said duck fat is just optional, use vegetable oil instead.
      The rest of the ingredients are things you should have in your kitchen all the time, and most of the liquid elements in the sauce are things you _need_ to have if you plan on making any East Asian dishes like Japanese, Chinese or Korean food.

It’s truly is easy to make, however, if you don’t regularly cook Asian food you obviously won’t have some of these ingredients. Which is fine don’t sweat it. I used brown sugar, shiitake mushrooms, and regular cabbage that I cooked it a little longer and it was also cool. Good stuff

    Of all the east Asian/SE Asian dishes I've seen on this channel, I think this one is the most accessible. There 3 ingredients that could be difficult to get if you don't have a local Asian grocer: palm sugar, trumpet mushrooms, and shirodashi. There are decent substitutes for all 3 with ingredients that are easier to get, like brown sugar or literally any other kind of mushroom you like. Will the dish taste exactly the same? No, of course not, but it will be pretty damn close. If you live somewhere that doesn't have a large Asian population other ingredients might be harder to get, like mirin or dark soy sauce.
