Ingredients

Udon noodles (fresh or frozen preferred)

Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil

1–2 tablespoons honey

1–2 tablespoons soy sauce

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sliced scallions, sesame seeds, chili flakes

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under warm water, and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with oil. Add mushrooms in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then stir occasionally until deeply golden and tender, about 6–8 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium. Drizzle in honey and soy sauce. Stir to coat mushrooms and cook for another 1–2 minutes until glossy and caramelized.

Add cooked udon to the pan. Toss gently to coat in the glaze. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Serve hot, topped with scallions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Use a mix of mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, enoki) for added flavor and texture.

For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and swap maple syrup or agave for honey.

Add baby spinach or snow peas for extra greens.

A spoonful of miso adds depth to the glaze.
