Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp butter divided, unsalted
  • 1 green onion diced, stalk
  • ½ shallot thinly sliced/mandolined, small
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 4 oz shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tsp soy sauce divided
  • 2 udon noodles 7 oz each, I use KAME brand, precooked, for stir-fry, in pouches
  • 1 tbsp honey
For garnish
  • 1 green onion diced stalk
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp Chili oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a skillet with sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir fry the green onion and finely sliced shallot together for a few minutes. Add a pinch of salt to help the onions soften.
  3. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and another tablespoon of butter. Stir occasionally as mushrooms start to glaze.
  4. Once the mushrooms are soft and browned, add the udon noodles (precooked). The instructions should be to add some water & oil to a hot skillet and cook covered for a few minutes. Follow the package instructions.
  5. Once the noodles are cooked and separated, turn the heat off and add honey, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir together until the honey is absorbed and a glazed, brown stir-fry sauce coats the noodles. Taste a noodle and add salt as needed.
  6. Remove the noodles from the pan, top with diced green onion, sesame seeds, and optional drizzle of chili oil. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Once you add the noodles to the pan, break them apart with your rubber spatula to ensure noodles don’t clump together.

  • Can be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 days; however, the longer it sits the more the noodles absorb the sauce and it may become a little dry. You can add a little teriyaki sauce to the dish before reheating if you’d like.
