Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 12 oz fresh udon noodles. Cook for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms.
  5. Step 5: Add the drained udon noodles to the skillet and toss well to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and glossy.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
