Ingredients
200 g noodles (udon, soba, or rice noodles)
250 g mushrooms, sliced (any variety)
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 spring onions, sliced
Sesame seeds, to finish
Steps
Cook the noodles according to the packet directions, drain, and reserve a splash of the cooking water.
Fry the onion in a little oil until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook hard until browned and shrunken — this is where the flavour lives.
Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 minute.
Off the heat, stir in the miso, soy sauce, black vinegar and sesame oil, loosening with a few tablespoons of the reserved noodle water to make a sauce.
Toss the noodles through the sauce and serve topped with spring onions and sesame seeds.
