Mushroom and Basil Udon – 15 Minutes

Mushroom and Basil Udon

If you only have 15 minutes, I got the perfect recipe for you!

Savory, delicious, and easy to make at home, Mushroom and Basil Udon is the perfect lunch you need to try.

Mushroom and Basil Udon has been my go-to lunch this month, and I promise you will also love it once you give it a try!

This udon stir-fry is a vegetarian-friendly recipe, but you can also add chicken, beef, or pork belly. 

Stir-Fry

I don’t eat meat for lunch, so I always look for delicious and easy vegetarian recipes such as my Mushroom and Basil Udon.

Inspired by my Taiwanese 3 Cup Chicken Noodle recipe, this udon recipe is the perfect balance between savory and sweet.

You can add other proteins and vegetables to the udon stir-fry to customize it for you. Other vegetables I love adding are broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and baby corn. 

drizzle on the sauce

The sauce for Mushroom and Basil Udon is super easy to make at home.

All you need is vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. If you are not vegetarian, you can use regular oyster sauce instead.

Other ingredients you will need are mushroom, garlic, udon, and the most important ingredient, Thai Basil. 

Thai basil is slightly spicy with an anise or licorice-like flavor compared to regular basil. If you can’t find Thai basil, you can also swap it with regular basil. 

Mushroom and Basil Udon - 15 Minutes

I prefer to use Frozen Udon when making Mushroom and Basil Udon.

Frozen Udon is fresher than vacuum-sealed udon; therefore, it can absorb more of the sauce and not break as easily.

You can easily find Frozen Udon in the Asian Freezer section near potstickers. Pour hot water all over the udon before cooking to separate the udon. This step will reduce cooking time and prevent the udon from becoming soggy.

If you can only access vacuum-sealed udon, microwave for 30 seconds to help separate the udon before adding it to the sauce.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
