Honey-Glazed Mushrooms With Udon Recipe (2024)

Delicious meal! However, modifications are needed. As with other comments, use only half of the honey. In addition, don’t use all of the suggested soy sauce (a little goes a long way).Just before removing from pan to serving platter or bowls, if you have, add about 1tb spoon of toasted sesame oil.Just before eating, a spritz of lime on the noodles brings the dish alive! Note: chili oil crunch (momofoku) goes well with this dish.Dish now on family meal rotation 😎

There is no difference between button and cremini mushrooms except color; "cremini" is a marketing term invented to promote the brown button mushrooms that no one thought shoppers would buy since they were only familiar with white ones. The flavor of this dish will not be affected by substitution of white mushrooms for cremini. We just think cremini look more like wild mushrooms.

Why is this recipe hiding under all the others? So yummy and simple.I typically like my udon busy but seasoning the udon with the mushroom "sauce" and soy sauce was fantastic. I skipped the cabbage (because I didn't have any), used only 2 tbsp of butter, and topped with an egg.

Only partially true that there is no difference between “button”, cremini, and portabella. Yes, they are all they same species. But just as a green tomato and a ripened tomato of the same species will be very different in recipes, the same is true for Agaricus bisporus; the time of harvest does impact their taste, texture, moisture content and recipe they are used in. The brown color of a cremini does not come from leaving a “button” mushroom out too long, its harvested later.

I made this for my vegan friend for Christmas dinner. I didn't use honey (he is REALLY vegan) and found it not to need sweetner . He liked it. Also used olive oil since he doesn't eat butter. Most of the carnivores ate it too.

My wife and I really liked this, though I think it could use a little heat. I'll probably mince a jalapeño or serrano and add with the garlic next time.

As written I found this too sweet, but adding chili oil mostly balanced it out; in the future I will probably do 2+ tbsp honey instead of 3, and the garlic needs to be doubled and preferably have some fresh ginger added as well. I also think it could use a little rice vinegar or shaoxing added at same time as soy sauce, and I would strongly suggest shiitake over cremini; they'll take less time and kick up the umami profile. My toddler loved the plain noodles with the sauce.

Veganized this using vegan butter and maple syrup instead of honey—delicious!

Made 1/13/2022Added tofu pressed and sautéed in ginger teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Very good. Had to sub cilantro for scallions. Good. Also had to use soba, not udon. Lighter; soba would be fine, too.

The recipe calls for a 12” skillet as an option. It does not work. A wok maybe but not a 12” skillet. Ruined dinner.

Edit: I bet a poached egg on top would elevate the whole dish

I doubled the amount of garlic and added MSG and chili crisp. This was so good that my husband didn’t realize it was vegetarian until he had finished the whole wok.

Delicious! Used bucatini pasta, baby bellas, white mushrooms, and regular cabbage because these were the items I had. We LOVED this dish and will make it again and again. Might try adding a few red pepper flakes next time. So good!!

10/10. Husband and I both loved this. Definitely use the fresh noodles. The only change I made was to add about a tablespoon of minced ginger when I added the garlic. This takes a little longer to prepare than advertised but very worth it. Could sprinkle with furikake to finish.

Made with what was on hand: sh*take mushrooms, baby bok choy, and soba. Added fresh minced ginger with the garlic, and a small dollop of chili crisp. Halved the honey. Didn't have scallions, topped with cilantro instead.

This is so delicious and ready to make! I added zucchini noodles to increase the veggies the second time I made it - because health. It was so good!!! I will definitely add this recipe to the weekly mix!

Made tonight per the recipe instructions. It was good! Modifications I would make to make it better - either 1/2 the udon or double the mushrooms. It was way too many noodle for us and it was slightly less than 1.5# but mushrooms =1#. We thought shiitake or mixed might also add to the dish but cremini were good. I didn't weigh the napa cabbage but use 1/2 head an next time I might use the whole head. Overall, we rate this as a 'do over.' Thx

An 8oz package of dried udon is a sub — enjoyed the balance of flavors, could possibly cut honey a little but then how would it affect flavor profile?

I added spinach and cashews and they worked.

Only used one tbsp of honey at each step, so 2 tbsp total. Added some tofu air fried in a soy sauce and honey mixture. Delicious!

Made this for dinner and it got rave reviews. No cabbage on hand, but a little arugula filled in. Very nice.

Surprise hit! Made a half portion w dried wide udon. Used only 1 tbsp butter total. Reduced honey to 2 tsp. Added 1/2 tbsp fish sauce. Only had half the needed amount of veggies but still good! Picky hubby loved it: “don’t change a thing!” Next time would add ginger, diced chicken.

The Napa cabbage released a fair amount of liquid for me … perhaps I cooked it longer than intended? In any event, delicious. I’ll make it again with the ginger/sesame oil/fried egg suggestions others have made.

Delicious, made it with my son. We have a Monday night Mama's cooking school so that he can learn to be an independent human. He cooked nearly the whole dish himself.

I devoured this! I couldn't find any Napa cabbage at the store, so I chopped up baby bok choy instead, which worked great. I also enjoyed the addition of some red pepper flakes to the recipe.

This did taste quite good, but works better to pull the mushroom mixture out of the pan before putting the Udon in otherwise the noodles just bury the mushrooms. Have tried both ways and much better to remove it and put shroom mix on top of the Udon. I love the cabbage, but proportions are a bit too high. Second go reduced cabbage, udon and soy sauce by 25% and added chili flakes. Remaining soy sauce for plating. Much better.

Holy lord this was good. Made exactly as written (minus scallions because of an allergy) and it was heavenly.

Add chili flakes, chili crisp or chili pepper during cooking. Add ginger with garlic. Add some acid: lime juice or some kind of vinegar?

Made as directed and really enjoyed it!

Used snow peas instead of cabbage, worked well. Very yummy and rich. Dried noodles were fine.
