Ingredients
  

200g udon noodles

2 tablespoons white miso paste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, grated

200g mixed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, and oyster), sliced

1 cup bok choy, chopped

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Udon Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

    Prepare the Miso Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of vegetable broth until smooth. Set aside.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juices. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

          Add Liquid and Bok Choy: Pour in the remaining vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the miso sauce until well combined. Then, add the chopped bok choy and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bok choy wilts.

            Combine Udon: Add the cooked udon noodles to the mushroom-broth mixture, tossing gently to coat the noodles with the sauce. If desired, add chili flakes for an extra kick and simmer for another minute.

              Serve: Ladle the Earthy Miso Mushroom Udon into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley for color and flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your nourishing, umami-packed dish!
