Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the salad greens thoroughly under running water and ensure they are completely dry. Also, wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half for a nice presentation. Removing excess water is key to preventing a diluted flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious special salad dressing! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic. Finally, add a pea-sized amount of wasabi. Adjust the amount of wasabi to your preference to control the spiciness.
Step 3
You can simply whisk the dressing ingredients together, but for a smoother texture and better integration of flavors, using a blender or immersion blender to finely process the mixture is recommended. This step helps the dressing meld beautifully with the ingredients, enhancing the overall taste.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen udon noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically for 2-3 minutes for a chewy texture.
Step 5
Drain the cooked udon noodles immediately and rinse them under cold water to cool them down. This process makes the noodles firmer and maintains their pleasant chewiness. Drain them thoroughly before the next step.
Step 6
Heat a wide pan over medium-high heat and add the beef brisket. You don’t need to add extra oil, as the brisket will render its own fat as it cooks.
Step 7
Cook the beef brisket until it’s evenly browned and no pink remains. Cooking it until slightly crispy adds a wonderful texture, but you can also cook it just until tender if you prefer a softer bite.
Step 8
Prepare a deep serving bowl. Start by arranging the drained udon noodles at the bottom of the bowl.
Step 9
Generously pile the fresh salad greens on top of the udon noodles. Creating some height will make the salad look even more appealing.
Step 10
Next, artfully arrange the cooked beef brisket over the salad greens, centering it. The contrast between the warm brisket and the fresh greens is delightful.
Step 11
Finally, scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the salad for a pop of color. The vibrant red tomatoes add a refreshing visual element.
Step 12
For added flavor and crunch, sprinkle crushed toasted peanuts over the top, if desired. Finish by drizzling balsamic dressing (or glaze) in a zig-zag pattern to enhance the overall taste.
Step 13
This Beef Brisket Udon Salad is best enjoyed with plenty of dressing! Generously drizzle the specially made sauce over the salad and then mix everything together – the udon noodles, greens, and brisket – to combine the flavors. Savor the explosion of diverse tastes and textures in every bite!
