Chef's notes
- Cook the beef hard enough to brown at the edges; this gives the sauce more depth.
- Do not overcook the sugar snap peas. They should keep a little bite.
- Loosen the udon with hot water before adding if the noodles are tightly packed.
- Leftovers keep for up to 2 days, but the noodles are best freshly tossed.
