What you will need

- 250 g oyster mushrooms torn into strips
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

Step by step instructions
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Cook noodles according to package directions until just tender, then drain and set aside, reserving a splash of cooking water.
Step 2: Sear the Mushrooms
Heat a large pan over high heat until very hot, add a drizzle of oil, and sear oyster mushrooms without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Step 3: Build the Garlic Butter Sauce
Add butter, garlic, and chili flakes to the mushroom pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then deglaze with soy sauce.
Step 4: Toss and Serve
Add noodles to the pan, toss everything together over medium heat adding a splash of noodle water to loosen, then serve immediately.
Easy substitutions

- oyster mushrooms → shiitake or cremini mushrooms for a different but equally savory option
- unsalted butter → vegan butter or olive oil to make the dish fully plant-based
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Crowding the pan when searing mushrooms which causes them to steam and become soggy
- Stirring mushrooms too early before they have developed a golden crust on one side
