Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Udon noodles
- 200 grams Plant-based beef strips
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 100 grams Spinach
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients: mince the garlic cloves, peel and slice the ginger, thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, and chop the green onions, separating the green and white parts.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing for about 2 minutes until aromatic.
Stir in the white parts of the green onions and shiitake mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are soft, around 3-4 minutes.
Add the plant-based beef strips and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
Meanwhile, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add the spinach to the simmering broth, cooking until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Season the broth with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings if needed.
Divide the cooked udon noodles among 4 bowls. Pour the broth mixture over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets an equal amount of plant-based beef and vegetables.
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Vegan Beef Udon!
