Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces udon noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative.
- Add cooked protein such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
