Notes
Udon noodles - you can use fresh or frozen udon noodles. Fresh udon noodles tend to have a better texture, but I actually like frozen udon noodles for this recipe because they keep for longer. Make sure to throw them in a bowl with hot water and loosen until they're separated before cooking them.
Mushrooms - I like to use a variety of mushrooms like seasfood, shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushrooms. However, this recipe works with whatever mushrooms you like or have on hand!
Storage and Reheating - Store any leftover Mushroom Udon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The noodles will soften and stick together as they sit in the refrigerator - this is normal! I think the sauce actually tastes even better the next day. Reheat until warmed through in the microwave.
