Before I freeze thinly sliced Pork to store, I cut it into bite-size pieces and divide into several portions making each portion is for 1 serving (about 80g). I have found it very convenient. Using 1 portion of the frozen Pork, I can cook a variety of nutritious dishes very quickly. This is a super easy Udon dish.
