Shiitake Garlic Noodles
Shiitake Garlic Noodles are a flavorful noodle dish combining tender ramen or spaghetti noodles with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, garlic, and green onions. Tossed in a savory sauce made from vegetable broth, hoisin, tamari, and fresh ginger, the dish offers a balance of umami, mild sweetness, and aromatics. Sesame seeds add a finishing touch, making it a simple, satisfying meal or side.

Ingredients
- 5 oz. ramen noodles or spaghetti, rice noodles, etc
- 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms
- 2-3 green onions
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp. sesame seeds (optional)
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ginger optional, but recommended, grated
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package instructions, leaving al dente (slightly firm, not mushy).
- Make the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Gently wipe shiitake mushrooms clean. Remove any hard stems, then halve or slice.
- In a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat, sauté shiitake mushrooms for 6-7 minutes. (I use 2 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, slice green onions and mince garlic.
- When mushrooms are tender, add green onions and garlic. Stir and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Add sauce and cooked noodles. Stir well to combine and heat for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle on sesame seeds (if using).

Notes
- Choose gluten-free noodles and tamari if a gluten-free version is desired; San-J brand hoisin can be used for gluten-free sauce.
- Fresh grated ginger enhances brightness but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped peanuts, cashews, or sliced almonds just before serving.
- If using no-oil sauté, add small amounts of water or broth as needed to prevent sticking as mushrooms cook.
