Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2-3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 4 green onions, sliced; white and green parts separated
  • 12 ounces (340 g) mixed mushrooms (I used Oyster, Cremini, and Shiitake)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium Tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1” piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 13.5-ounce (400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups (475 ml) mushroom broth
  • 1 cup (235 ml) water
  • 19 ounces (540 g) fresh or frozen udon noodles; see notes for dried instructions
  • Optional: chili oil, for garnish

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot to medium heat and warm the sesame oil; then, add in the white portions of the green onion and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pot, stir well, and cook 3 minutes. Mix the mushrooms once every minute or so – you want them to sit on the bottom of the pan to brown slightly. Then, add the Tamari, ginger, and garlic to the pot and stir well; sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden and reduced in size.
  • add the mushroom broth, coconut milk, and water to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high.
  •  add the fresh/frozen udon directly to the pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the noodles are tender (see recipe notes for dried udon instructions). Turn the heat off, then stir in the green portion of the green onions.
  • divide the soup into serving bowls and top with chili oil, if desired. Enjoy warm; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days*
