Instructions
In a large pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Add the udon and cook for 3 minutes; remove from the water and place into an ice bath for 30 seconds. Quickly dry the noodles and place into a serving bowl.
Add the salad oil to a medium sized non-stick pan over high heat. When it begins to lightly smoke, add in the pork, garlic and ginger; sauté for a minute then add the stock to deglaze the pan.
Add in the doubanjiang, douchi, mirin, miso, oyster sauce, tsuyu and sesame oil and simmer until the pork is completely cooked, making sure to keep as much liquid as possible, about 3 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry; add it to the liquid to thicken. Add in the tofu and green onion then place the mixture on top of the udon noodles. Serve immediately.
