Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 servings (500g) udon noodles preferably frozen (see notes below)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 medium onion sliced
  • 200 g mushrooms of your choice, i used shiitake and golden enoki
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk
  • 2 tbsp miso paste white or red (see notes below)
  • green onion, furikake, egg, and/or shredded nori for garnish

Method
 

  1. To prepare your noodles from frozen, soak them in hot water for about a minute, and use a pair of chopsticks to carefully loosen the noodles. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
  2. Heat butter over medium heat, until completely melted and bubbling. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms.
  3. Add about 2-3 tbsp of water and oyster sauce to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through.
  4. Add heavy cream and miso paste, and mix to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, add the noodles and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish, and enjoy!

Notes

Adding miso paste to the creamy sauce elevates the umami flavor profile, creating a depth that complements the richness of the heavy cream and the earthiness of the mushrooms. This perfect balance of flavors not only enhances the dish but also showcases the importance of seasoning in achieving a restaurant-quality meal at home.
