Mushroom noodles is a quick and easy Asian-style stir-fried noodle dish that can be enjoyed in every season. The combination of noodles, blend of Asian sauces, and sauteed mushrooms, is delicious. It's a great quick meat-free dinner option made with a handful of basic ingredients.
I am a big foodie and I love cooking too. But to be honest I am a lazy cook who prefers easy, healthy, and tasty recipes. I don't like spending hours in the kitchen. That's the reason why most of my recipes are very easy which even beginners can make without any problem.
Here also I am sharing another very simple and quick recipe- Easy Mushroom Noodles-Asian style.
To make it, you just need to cook some noodles, saute garlic and mushrooms, add the sauces, season with salt and pepper, add noodles, spring onion, toss and your quick lunch or dinner is ready!
The combination of slurpy, saucy noodles with the earthy flavor and meaty texture of mushrooms tastes amazing.
What goes in these mushroom noodles?
To make these Asian-style stir-fried mushroom noodles, you will need the ingredients shown below:
Ingredient notes and substitute suggestions
- Mushroom: I have used white button mushrooms, you can use the type of mushroom that you prefer like cremini mushrooms (baby bella mushrooms) or shiitake mushrooms (dry or fresh shiitakes, both are fine). A combination of different mushrooms can also be used.
- Noddles: Use noodles of choice. Udon noodles, soba noodles, egg noodles, and instant ramen, all are fine. You can use spaghetti too. However, if you use spaghetti to make an Asian dish, don't cook it al dente. It should be fully cooked but not overcooked and mushy.
- Spring onion: I love using spring onions in Asian stir fry recipes. You can also add baby bok choy, baby spinach, or garlic leaves.
- Ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic will give you more flavor but if you don't have these ingredients, mix some ginger powder and garlic powder in the sauce mix and use that.
- Oyster sauce: If you are a vegan or vegetarian, use the oyster sauce that's made with oyster mushrooms. It's easily available in a lot of Asian grocery stores. You can also use any other Asian stir-fry sauce of your choice.
- Cooking oil: I have used vegetable oil but canola oil, olive oil, or peanut oil can be used too.
Other ingredient details and substitute suggestions are shared in the recipe card.

- If you cannot find vegan or vegetarian oyster sauce, feel free to use any other Asian stir-fry sauce of your choice.

- As the sauces already have salt in them, add more salt carefully and only if required.
- Always use a large skillet or wok for stir-frying. It makes stirring the food easier.
- Stir fry on high heat to get the best result.
- As the Asian style stir-frying is done on high heat, keep all the ingredients ready and near the stovetop before starting the process.
