Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients: mince the garlic cloves, peel and slice the ginger, thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, and chop the green onions, separating the green and white parts.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing for about 2 minutes until aromatic.

Add the plant-based beef strips and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.

Step 6

Meanwhile, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Add the spinach to the simmering broth, cooking until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Season the broth with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 9

Divide the cooked udon noodles among 4 bowls. Pour the broth mixture over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets an equal amount of plant-based beef and vegetables.
