📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish turning the sweet-tart sauce of Thai street-food pad thai (tamarind, fish sauce, sugar) into Japanese yaki udon, using ketchup and vinegar from the pantry instead. It's made with just ground pork and bean sprouts, and a squeeze of lime makes it taste authentic. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At lunch on a day off, udon, egg, and sprouts are stir-fried together in a frying pan and plated with peanuts and lime.
