Recipe Notes

If you can’t eat pork, try steamed chicken instead. It also goes great with the sesame sauce.
Alternatively, you can add citrus juice instead of the chili oil to give the sesame sauce a refreshing flavor.
The rich sesame sauce goes great with the thin pork slices. It also seasons the udon noodles, giving this dish a delicious flavor!
