Ingredients
-
1 (9.5-ounce) package udon noodles
-
1½ cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
-
½ cup sliced scallions
-
1 cup cubed firm tofu
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons sesame oil
-
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
-
Cook the noodles. Prepare the udon noodles according to the package directions, about 4 minutes.
-
Add the mushrooms. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking so they soften while the noodles finish.
-
Drain. Drain the noodles and mushrooms thoroughly.
-
Toss everything together. Add the tofu, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
-
Serve. Divide into bowls and enjoy while warm.
Notes
-
Cook in broth: Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water to cook the noodles for extra flavor.
-
Keep the noodles chewy: Follow the package cooking time and avoid overcooking.
-
Drain well: Excess water can dilute the soy sauce and sesame oil.
-
Toss while warm: The warm noodles help distribute the sauce evenly.
-
Toast the sesame seeds: Toasted sesame seeds add a nutty aroma and extra texture.
