teriyaki pork noodles with crispy egg

If you’re a noodle fan & you’ve got some leftover pork from a homemade roast dinner then this is the dish for you!

Here, we’re chopping up a generous amount of leftover roast pork, frying it until it’s nice & crispy, glazing it with a homemade teriyaki sauce then tossing through some udon noodles. To finish our pork noodles, we’re going to be topping them with a crispy fried egg & a sprinkle of sliced spring onions & toasted sesame seeds.

The great thing about these noodles is that you can swap the meat out for pretty much whatever you like. Some roast chicken, lamb or beef would work well or you could even use a pan roasted duck breast. They’re super tasty & take very little time to make!

What You’ll Need

  • Leftover Roast Pork – I used leftovers from my slow roasted pork shoulder but pork belly would work just as well. Leftover roast chicken, beef or lamb would also work!
  • Noodles – We’re using thick udon noodles for this dish. I like to use the fresh udon noodles that you can buy from the supermarket as these cook in a matter of minutes, however dried udon noodles can be used instead.
  • Teriyaki Sauce – We’re making our own teriyaki sauce but feel free to use a ready made one if you’d prefer. If you’re making your own teriyaki, you’ll need dark soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic & ginger.
  • Butter – Stirring some butter through our sauce gives it a richer flavour & glossy finish. Unsalted butter is best as the teriyaki won’t need any extra salt.
  • Eggs – I topped my noodles with a crispy fried egg but you could poach or boil your’s instead if you like.
  • Toppings – My noodles were topped with some thinly sliced spring onions & a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

We’re making a quick, homemade teriyaki sauce to glaze & coat the crispy roast pork & udon noodles. This teriyaki sauce is a bit thinner than the ready made stuff because we want it to reduce into a sticky glaze in the pan with the pork. However, you could use a ready made sauce instead & thin it out with a splash of the noodle cooking water.

To make our homemade teriyaki sauce, we mix dark soy sauce with honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar & sesame oil. Then when before we add the teriyaki to the crispy pork, we quickly fry off some grated fresh ginger & garlic.

Leftover Roast Pork Noodles

These roast pork noodles come together in no time at all! Here we roughly chop up some leftover roast pork (I used shoulder but belly would work as well), fry it in a pan until crispy, add in some grated garlic, ginger & our homemade teriyaki sauce then cook until glazed & sticky. To finish, we toss through some udon noodles, a splash of noodle cooking water & a good chunk of butter then serve with a crispy fried egg, sliced spring onions & a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

How To Cook Crispy Fried Eggs

You can’t beat a fried egg! And I mean a proper fried egg that’s been cooked in plenty of fat. We’re talking fried eggs with crispy whites & a perfectly runny yolk! These are the perfect topping for our sticky teriyaki noodles as the crisp texture contrasts the soft noodles & the runny yolk adds extra richness.

To cook crispy fried eggs, we add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large frying pan then set it over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering (not smoking!), we crack an egg into a ramekin then carefully add into the pan. Now we cook the egg, basting the whites with the hot oil, until it’s crisp & golden with a perfectly runny yolk. The total cooking time will be around 2 minutes.

Instructions

Teriyaki Sauce

  • Add the soy sauce, honey, sugar, rice vinegar & sesame oil into a small mixing bowl then stir to combine. Set this aside for now.

Roast Pork Noodles

  • Chop the leftover roast pork into rough chunks, around 2 cm wide then set to one side.
  • Next, set a large frying pan over a medium heat & add in the vegetable oil. At the same time, fill a medium saucepan up with water, set over a high heat then bring to the boil.
  • Once the oil in the frying pan is hot, add in the roast pork then cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp & golden. Next, add in the grated garlic & ginger then cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the pork then continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thick & sticky. In the meantime, cook your udon noodles in the pan of boiling water, following the packet instructions.
  • Once your noodles are ready, add them into the pan of pork along with the butter & a splash of the cooking water. Gently toss the pan to coat the noodles in the sauce then set over a low heat to keep warm whilst we fry the eggs.
    If the sauce gets too thick, add in a small amount of the noodle water.

Crispy Eggs

  • Set a large frying pan over a medium-high heat then add in the vegetable oil. Allow to heat up for a minute or two.
    The oil should be shimmering but not smoking!
  • Next, crack an egg into a ramekin then carefully add into the oil. Repeat with the other egg.
  • Let the eggs fry for 30 seconds or so, until the whites are starting to set then continue cooking until golden & crispy, basting the whites with the hot fat throughout. Make sure to only spoon the oil onto the uncooked whites, not the yolks!
    Total cooking time will be around 2 minutes.
  • Once cooked, season the eggs with salt & pepper then use a slotted spatula to lift the eggs out of the pan & onto a plate.

Plating Up

  • Divide the pork noodles between 2 bowls then place the fried eggs on top. Sprinkle over the spring onions & sesame seeds then serve.

Notes

1. Roast Pork – For my noodles, I used leftovers from my slow roasted pork recipe but any roast pork will work!
2. Noodles – I like to use fresh udon noodles (the packs you get in the supermarket) as they cook/reheat quicker. Dried udon noodles will work as well but will take longer to cook so keep this in mind! Some noodles need to be soaked in boiling water so make sure to cook yours’ following the instructions on the packaging.
3. Sesame Seeds – I used a mix of white & black sesame seeds but feel free to use one or the other if you’d prefer. To toast, add the sesame seeds into a small frying pan then cook over a medium heat until golden & fragrant. This will only take a minute or two & can be done several days in advance.
4. Teriyaki – Feel free to use a ready made teriyaki sauce if you’d prefer. Ready made teriyaki will probably be a bit thicker than our homemade one so will thinning out more.
