Creamy Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 green onion (white and green parts separated)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
- 5.2 oz shimeji mushrooms (base chopped then separated)
- 1 tbsp sake (or mirin, optional)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk (or soy milk)
- 1/2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1–2 tbsp soy sauce (or to taste)
- 2 tsp dark soy sauce (optional for color and extra umami)
- Ground pepper
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 2 tsp room temp water
- Green parts of green onion for garnish
- Noodles: If using frozen udon, microwave for 60 seconds until separated. If using instant cooked udon, soak in hot water or cook according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Cooking: Melt vegan butter in a wok, sauté white parts of green onion and garlic. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Add sake, then pour in plant-based milk, miso paste, and soy sauces. Add udon noodles and pepper. Create a slurry with cornstarch and water, pour over noodles to thicken sauce. Adjust seasoning with soy sauce or salt. Turn off heat, mix in green onion parts, and serve hot.
Notes
- If using other noodles, follow package instructions for cooking.
- For a richer sauce, use cream instead of plant-based milk.
