Steps
Make the sauce. Add the silken tofu, tahini, soy sauce, miso paste, gochugaru, and rice vinegar to a blender. Pulse just until smooth; do not overblend, or the sauce may become too runny. Set it aside.
Prepare the salad. Julienne the spring onions, reserving the green portions for the salad, and pick the coriander leaves. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, stack the rounds into small piles, and cut them into strips. Toss the cucumber with the spring onion greens and coriander.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add the chicken mince and leave it briefly to develop some color before breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Once the chicken has browned, pour in the mirin and scrape the browned bits from the pan to deglaze it.
Add the grated garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the chicken. Stir to combine and cook for several more minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is fragrant and coats the meat. Chicken should reach 165°F (74 °C)/74°C (165 °F) internally.
Cook the frozen udon noodles according to the package directions, until hot and tender. Drain well.
Assemble the bowls with the udon on the bottom. Pour the tofu sauce over the noodles, then arrange the cooked chicken on one side and the cucumber salad on the other.
Finish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
