Here comes the authentic Izakaya dish, featuring thick udon noodles, pan-fried with tender beef, topped with green onion, mushroom, dried seaweed and flavourful bonito flakes.
Note: Yaki means pan-fried, Udon means noodles. Guu in Japanese means good. They also call the sound your stomach makes when you are hungry a “Guu” sound.

An Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub.
Start by boiling the udon noodles for 2 minutes, until al dente. Drain excess water and set cooked noodles aside.
In a pan, heat oil and add the sliced beef. Fry until it is almost fully cooked, for about 2 minutes.
Add minced garlic, green onion, and mushroom to the pan and sauté for about 1-3 mins.
Deglaze with sake.
Add the udon noodles to the pan and seasoned it with dashi, shichimi and soy sauce. Pan fried for about 3 minutes or until it is well mixed.
Remove it from the heat and finish it with butter and the rest of toppings for plating.
