Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Chips
Thinly slice 6 cloves of garlic. In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry slowly until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the garlic chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Set aside.
Cook the Udon
If using fresh udon, cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes. If using frozen udon, place them directly into boiling water and cook until loosened and tender, about 1-2 minutes. Drain well.
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet or wok, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to brown the minced garlic too much.
Combine
Add the drained udon noodles to the skillet with the garlic butter. Pour in the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and the sauce is absorbed, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve
Divide the udon into serving bowls. Garnish generously with the crispy garlic chips, thinly sliced green onion, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and shichimi togarashi, if desired. Serve immediately.
