A meat-free meal that is spicy, rich and satisfying! Intensely flavoured gochujang and peanut butter add body to the sauce, and the pulled crispy mushrooms will soon become your new addiction.
Method
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/425°F/gas mark 7). Tear the mushrooms , then place in a small roasting tin. Toss with the sesame oil, vegetable oil and a splash of soy, then roast for 20 minutes or until crispy and caramelised.
Step 2
Meanwhile, mix the remaining soy sauce, gochujang, peanut butter, grated garlic, light brown sugar, lime juice and about 100 mls of water (if cooking for 2) in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and leave to cook for 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
At the same time, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add the green beans and boil for 3 minutes, then add the udon noodles until the noodles are warmed through and the beans are al dente. Drain, then add the noodles and green beans to the pan of sauce and toss well to combine, adding a little more water if needed.
Step 4
Divide between 2 bowls, then top with the crispy mushrooms. Finish with the chopped spring onions, a sprinkle of peanuts and a squeeze of lime just before serving.
