Lets Get Cooking!

  • In a large frying pan/wok, heat the oil and fry the onions on a low heat until they start to soften. About 4 mins. Putting the lid on and letting them steam a little helps to soften them
    Step1 Fry onions
  • Add the carrot and fry for 2 mins with the lid on
    Step2 Add the carrot and fry with the onion
  • Add the seafood sticks and lettuce and fry for about 2 mins
    Step3 Add the seafood sticks and lettuce and fry
  • Add the udon and water. Turn the heat up to medium and put the lid of for 2 mins to let everything steam
  • Add the ketchup, mix well and serve!
    Step4 and 4 Add the udon, water and ketchup

Optional:

  • For more depth of flavour, add a drizzle of sesame oil at the end, mix and serve

Notes

Storage:
Can be frozen as soon as it has cooled down. Consume within 3 months.
 
Tailor the dish for your baby or for adults:

Keeping It Clean  - Don’t fry the veggies with oil. Microwave them for 2 mins, add to the frying pan, then continue to follow the instructions. Instead of ketchup, use tomato puree with no salt or sugar.
 
For Adults - Add the sesame oil step at the end and a sprinkle of chilli powder/flakes for a kick.
 
Make it Vegetarian - Leave out the seafood sticks and add in some more vegetables like beansprouts, grated courgette, anything you want!
