Garlic Mushroom Noodles

No reviews

There’s something so comforting about a bowl of noodles when you want dinner to feel a little bit special without actually making a big fuss. These garlic mushroom noodles are exactly that. The mushrooms get cooked until deeply golden and caramelized, then tossed with plenty of garlic, chewy udon, and a savory, slightly sweet sauce with just enough chili oil to wake everything up.

 

The best part is the little things at the end: fresh scallions, sesame seeds, crispy fried shallots, and maybe a soft egg with that gorgeous runny yolk. It’s cozy, glossy, garlicky, and comes together surprisingly quickly.
