Ingredients

  • 2 servings frozen udon noodles
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or button)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Furikake or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and sliced onion, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in miso paste and heavy cream. Mix until the miso dissolves and the sauce is smooth. Simmer gently.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve in bowls and garnish with furikake or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use white miso for a milder flavor; red miso gives a deeper umami profile.
  • Frozen udon noodles offer the best chewy texture, but dried noodles can be used if cooked properly.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives like coconut cream and vegan butter.
  • Simmer gently to avoid curdling the cream sauce.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or seaweed flakes if furikake isn’t available.
