Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups White mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pound Imitation crab, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and release their juices.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to lightly brown.
Slowly whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the imitation crab to the skillet and gently stir to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the crab to heat through.
Serve the fake crab stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
