<Miwa’s tips>

・Chop all the veggies into small pieces to minimize the cooking time.

・ Udon should be undercooked in step #2. You can also boil the frozen udon for 1 minute. Drain the water as much as possible.

・Keep the heat high throughout the cooking process. Get your pan moving to prevent it from burning.

<Storage time>

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
