Ingredients
- 300g quick cook thick udon noodles
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 x 120g pack Taste the Difference Shiitake Mushrooms, cleaned and roughly chopped
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- 80g baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 medium egg yolks
- 30g Parmigiano Reggiano*, grated
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- ½ nori sheet, crumbled
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Step by step
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the noodles for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Drain, reserving some of the water.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until softened and starting to brown. Reduce the heat, add the garlic granules and cook for a further minute. Add the spinach with a splash of the noodle water and cook until the spinach has wilted. Remove from the heat.
- 3 Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks (freeze the egg whites in a clean container for future use), parmesan and soy in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the noodle water. Add the noodles to the sauté pan with the parmesan mixture, tossing everything together until the noodles are coated. Continue to cook over a low heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens. Add a splash more noodle water if needed.
