Recipe: Fast fast udon (Udon with Pork Mince, Beansprouts and Mushroom)

Hubby asked what I was making him for lunch one afternoon and I answered, "Fast fast udon." "Why is it called fast fast udon?" he asked, to which I replied, "Well, it's fast to make, and it tastes so good, you'll finish it real fast too!"

Fast fast Udon with minced pork, beansprouts and mushroom

Since there was not much prep to do for this dish, I managed to get this cooked and ready on the dining table in under 10 minutes. And it was so good, we took under 5 minutes to finish it all up. Definitely lives up to its name ;) I used pork mince for ease, but you can substitute with chicken or beef if you prefer. Not only is it fast to prepare, it is also a healthy and well-balanced dish.
