  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or butter) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the sliced mushrooms, allowing them to cook for about 5 minutes, until golden and tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour in one cup of heavy cream and two tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well, letting the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add your cooked udon noodles to the skillet. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the creamy sauce.
  6. Garnish with chopped scallions for that pop of color and flavor. Your delicious Creamy Mushroom Udon is ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

For best results, experiment with different types of mushrooms. Consider adding chili flakes for heat, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
