Ingredients
- 200g noodles
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mushrooms into even, thin slices. Mince the garlic finely and chop green onions for garnish.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes for fresh noodles or 6-8 minutes for dried noodles. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process, then set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Allow oil to become hot but not smoking.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms become golden brown and release their moisture.
- Add cooked noodles to the pan, then pour hoisin sauce and soy sauce over the noodles. Toss everything together, ensuring noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to create crispy edges on the noodles.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy, enjoying the rich umami flavors of the hoisin sauce and caramelized mushrooms.
Tips
- Noodle Choice: Fresh noodles will give you a softer texture, while dried noodles can create a chewier bite. Choose based on your preference, but be sure to follow the package instructions for cooking times.
- Mushroom Varieties: Experiment with different types of mushrooms! Shiitake, oyster, or even button mushrooms can add unique flavors and textures to your dish.
- Don’t Rush the Sauté: Allow the mushrooms to cook until they are golden brown and have released their moisture. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
- High Heat is Key: Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the garlic and mushrooms. This will help to sear them quickly and lock in the flavors.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh green onions not only add a pop of color but also a refreshing crunch. Don’t skip this step for a restaurant-quality finish.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your noodles with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad to balance the richness of the dish.
