MUSHROOM UDON NOODLE BOWL
Topping the list of the most satisfying meals, a big steaming bowl of noodles in broth nurtures body and soul. Though many noodle soups rely on long-simmered meat stock, this vegetarian broth is quickly prepared and very flavorful. The recipe calls for thick chewy udon noodles, but use another type of noodle, if you wish.

Steps:
- Make the broth: In a large pot, bring 8 cups water to a boil over high heat. Add scallion, dried mushrooms, seaweed (if using), ginger, garlic, fresh mushroom trimmings and salt. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Strain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook udon noodles until al dente, then drain, rinse well with cold water, and keep at room temperature.
- In a soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat and swirl to coat the bottom of the pot. Add leeks and sliced shiitake and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, mirin, sesame oil and soy sauce and cook for 1 minute. Turn heat to high, add reserved broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add bok choy and reserved noodles and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until greens are cooked and noodles are heated through. Gently stir in miso and tofu. Turn off heat.
- Using tongs, divide noodles among 4 to 6 bowls. Ladle hot soup over noodles. Sprinkle with scallions and serve. Pass togarashi or crushed red pepper at the table.

Steps:
- If using dried udon noodles, prepare according to directions on package (see notes).
- Heat the canola oil (2 tablespoons) in a large deep skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the light green and white parts of the green onions (making sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of the darkest green parts) and the minced garlic (2 cloves). Sauté for about 2 minutes, until onions are softened and garlic is toasted and fragrant.
- Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms (8 oz.) to the skillet and sauté until browned and softened, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
- While the mushrooms are cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix the soy sauce (1/4 cup), fresh ginger (1 tablespoon), sesame oil (2 teaspoons), rice vinegar (1 tablespoon), chili garlic sauce (2 teaspoons), honey (1 tablespoon) and water (1/3 cup).
- Add the sauce and the prepared noodles to the skillet. Stir together. If things are sticking to the bottom, add 1/4 cup of water and use a wooden spoon to scrape anything from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the dark green onion slices (1/2 cup) as well as the basil/cilantro leaves (1/4 cup) if using. Stir together and serve.

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.
