If you’re a mushroom lover like me, this EXTRA Creamy Mushroom Udon is one of my first viral recipes that takes less than 20 minutes to make. This is a Japanese-inspired fusion recipe that I’ve been making since university. It is the easiest Vegetarian-friendly noodle dish that’s super affordable, perfect for people who are busy and always on the go!

Equipment

Non-stick pan

Ingredients

2 servings Frozen Udon
6 Cremini Mushroom sliced
8 Shiitake Mushroom sliced
1 pack Shimeji Mushroom or Oyster Mushroom sliced
4 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
4 cloves Garlic chopped
Black Pepper to season
1 green Onion separate white & green
1/4 cup Dashi Stock or chicken stock or vegetable stock
½ cup Cream or Milk

Instructions

Pour hot water over frozen udon so udon can separate, drain and set aside.
In a hot pan, add in all of the mushrooms. Let it sit and occasionally stir for 2-3 minutes or until the mushroom is soft and fragrant. DON’T ADD ANY OIL YET, and this will help release the fragrance of the mushroom.
Once the mushrooms are fragrant and soft, add 2 tbsp of butter, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, the white part of the green onion, and minced garlic. Sauté together for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in dashi stock, let it sizzle for 1-2 minutes, and slowly add cream/milk. Pour it in slowly and keep stirring to make sure everything is mixed well.
Now add in the udon and let it sit, and soak in all of the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Optional, but HIGHLY recommended, add in 2 tbsp of butter right before serving. Garnish with some green onion & you are ready to serve!!

Notes

Today, I use Cremini, Shiitake & Oyster mushrooms but use whatever mushroom you have or prefer, such as a Shemiji Mushroom or King Oyster Mushroom! If you want to add meat, this dish pairs great with bacon or chicken.
