Pulmuone’s udon stir-fry kit is a refrigerated 24.1 oz pack with two packs of udon noodles, a beef sauce and a green onion topping.[1][3][5] Stores list it as Stir-Fry Udon Korean BBQ Style Beef or as Beef Bulgogi Udon.[1][2][4]

Two versions of this kit appear in store listings, and their microwave directions differ. The current pack, the one on Pulmuone’s own page, says its tray is not microwavable, so heat it in your own covered bowl. An older pack, still shown by some stores, says to microwave it in the included tray.[1][3][2] Follow the pack you have.

How to cook it

Stir-fry (current pack) 2 min + 2 min 30 sec[1][3]

  1. Put the 2 udon noodle packs and 1 tsp of oil into a frying pan.
  2. On medium heat, gently stir-fry the noodles for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the beef sauce pack evenly and stir-fry for 2 minutes 30 seconds.
  4. Turn off the heat, add the green onion topping and mix well.

Microwave (current pack, in your own bowl) 3 min + 3 min (1200 W)[1][3]

  1. Put both udon noodle packs in a microwave-safe bowl or plate, add the beef sauce on top and toss them together.
  2. Cover the bowl (the included tray is not microwavable) and microwave for 3 minutes at 1200 W.
  3. Mix, then microwave for 3 more minutes. It will be hot.
  4. Let it sit in the microwave for 1 minute, carefully remove the cover, add the green onion topping and mix well.

Times are for a 1200 W microwave. For a weaker one, see the time converter.

If you have the older pack

The older kit, still shown by Food Lion, has a separate vegetables and beef strips pack, and different directions. Stovetop: stir-fry the noodles with 1 tsp of oil and the water from the vegetable pack on medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, then add the sauce and the rest of the vegetable pack and stir-fry for 1 minute. Microwave: put the noodles, the whole vegetables and beef strips pack (with its liquid) and the sauce in the included tray, cover and heat for 5–6 minutes at 1200 W, let it stand for 1 minute, then add the green onion topping and mix.[2] We found these older directions in one place only, so go by your pack.
