Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to boil and add 12 oz fresh udon noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still chewy, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until softened and edges slightly caramelized.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
Step 5: Add drained noodles to the wok along with the miso sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 2 more minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in 3 sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
