Udon-Beef Noodle Bowl

Noodles Bowls are one of my favorite meals.   Noodles in a spicy broth with veggies and meat or chicken.  This dish was a nice combination of meat, veggies, noodles, and broth.  You could eat this dish with chopsticks if you wished, but have a spoon near by to spoon up the broth.  A simple dish yet so delicious.

Start the preparation of this dish by cooking the udon noodles.  In a separate pan, simmer together some garlic, pepper, and the beef broth.  In a separate skillet,  sautee some carrots and mushrooms.  Next you add some soy sauce, sake, and honey (which have been combined) to the sauteed veggies.  You then add the veggies to the broth mixture along with the beef.  You then stir in your cooked udon noodles, green onions, and spinach.  Dinner is ready to be served.
