Easy 15-min. Creamy Mushroom Udon
Description
Easy 15-min. Creamy Mushroom Udon blends frozen udon noodles with sautéed cremini mushrooms, garlic, and onions, all cooked in a creamy sauce made from heavy cream and oyster sauce. The method softens the mushrooms with a bit of water, then simmers the mixture to slightly thicken the sauce before adding the noodles. Garlic powder and black pepper enhance the seasoning, creating layers of mild, savory flavors.
The resulting dish is creamy and smooth with tender mushroom slices throughout, complemented by the springy texture of the udon noodles. The garnishes of green onions and black sesame seeds provide a fresh, mild crunch and a touch of nuttiness. This creamy noodle dish can be served immediately while hot, making it suitable for an easy lunch or dinner when a comforting yet quick meal is desired.
Ingredients
- 1.10 lb udon noodles frozen kind recommended
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream or sub with evaporated milk or 18% table cream but simmer it longer
- ⅓ cup onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup water
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce or sub with vegetarian oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 green onion finely chopped for garnishing
- ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds optional garnish (or sub with regular toasted sesame seeds)
Instructions
