  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 5.5 oz 150g shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, torn
  • 9 oz 250g cremini or chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 green onions cut into 3 pieces
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp Asian chilli oil like Chiu Chow, plus more for serving
  • Optional toppings: Fried egg crispy onions, furikake, sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Prep: In a bowl, whisk miso, sesame oil, soy sauce, and ½ tbsp chilli oil. Set aside. Place udon in a bowl, cover with boiled water, and set aside to soak.
  • Cook Mushrooms: Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add all mushrooms and green onions. Cook 3-4 mins, stirring, until tender.
  • Finish Sauce: Add 2 tbsp noodle water to the sauce; whisk. Pour sauce over mushrooms.
  • Combine: Drain noodles, add to skillet. Toss until noodles are hot and coated.
