Udon With Fresh Shiitakes Recipe


Udon With Fresh Shiitakes Recipe
My favorite food at the moment. Healthy and yummy at the same time. Ingredient amounts are very flexible--sorry to be guessing, but I never really measure for this simple dish. The recipe would probably work with dried and soaked shiitake mushroom... More

Ingredients
  • 1 package Udon noodles (organic preferred)
  • 1 Tb. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 large clove of garlic, chopped fine
  • 1 Cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped in medium pieces
  • 1 medium to large summer squash, chopped
  • 1 Cup broth (water will do, if no broth is available)
  • 1/8 to 1/4 cup shoyu, to taste*
  • 1/2 Cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • * Shoyu is an aged soy sauce. Instead of shoyu, I use Mitoku brand Shiitake and Shoyu Concentrate.

Directions
  1. Cook Udon noodles according to package directions until not quite done (i.e. very al dente). Drain noodles and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large sauce pan or saute pan over medium heat..
  3. Add mushrooms, squash, and garlic. Saute briefly (about 3 minutes) stirring enough to prevent burning or sticking.
  4. Stir in broth and shoyu, and heat briefly.
  5. Add cooked Udon in a layer on top of the vegetables, cover, and lower heat.
  6. When liquid starts to simmer, mix the noodles into the vegetables and broth.
  7. Simmer for a few minutes, uncovered, over low heat. Determine cooking time by tasting the noodles. Do not allow the noodles to become too soft.
  8. Serve hot, topped liberally with green onions and cilantro.
  9. Tip: Do not add salt. Shoyu is very salty.
