HONEY-GLAZED MUSHROOMS WITH UDON
In this weeknight dish, caramelized mushrooms are bathed in a satiny glaze of honey and butter, delivering the winning trifecta of sweet, savory and earthy. Cremini mushrooms are the hardest workers of the fungi world; they are inexpensive and accessible, and while they may not feel as fancy as some wild varieties, with some time in the pan, they burst with complex flavor. (Button mushrooms also do the job well.) Chubby udon are the ideal carriers for the luscious sauce, but for the most satisfying results, use fresh or frozen noodles, rather than the thinner dried strands. (Though in a pinch, they work, too). To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the udon noodles and cook for about 2 minutes, using wooden chopsticks or tongs to gently loosen the noodles from their tight bundle. Drain, rinse with cold water and leave to continue draining while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Heat a wok or large (12-inch) skillet on medium-high, until very hot. Add oil and mushrooms, and stir-fry for 7 to 8 minutes, leaving undisturbed for 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time, to allow them to caramelize. (Be patient: They will release a lot of liquid, then start to brown.) Add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Drizzle the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of honey, then add 3 tablespoons of butter and toss.
- Add the udon noodles, Napa cabbage and soy sauce to the pan, then toss for 2 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted and everything is well combined. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon butter. Taste and season with more salt and black pepper, if required. To serve, scatter with scallions and sesame seeds.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: For the best texture and flavor, use large, meaty mushrooms like portobello, shiitake, or cremini.
- Slice Mushrooms Evenly: This ensures they cook evenly and absorb the marinade better.
- Marinate the Mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in the flavorful Cajun spice mixture enhances their taste.
- Cook Mushrooms Over Medium Heat: High heat can toughen the mushrooms, so cook them over medium heat to keep them tender and juicy.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: This prevents the mushrooms from sticking and tearing.
- Add Aromatics: Sauteing aromatics like onions, garlic, and peppers before adding the mushrooms adds extra flavor to the dish.
- Deglaze the Skillet: After removing the mushrooms, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine or vegetable broth to capture all the delicious browned bits.
- Garnish Before Serving: Top the mushrooms with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Whether served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course, these Cajun-glazed mushrooms are sure to impress with their bold flavors and tantalizing aroma. The combination of earthy mushrooms, spicy Cajun seasoning, and sweet glaze creates a delightful symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more.
