Method
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Loosen the udon in the water for 60 seconds, then drain and reserve 100 ml of the cooking water.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and mushrooms in a single layer. Leave undisturbed for 3 minutes, then toss and cook for 4 minutes until browned at the edges.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, garlic and ginger and cook for 45 seconds.
Whisk the miso, soy sauce, vinegar, cream and hot noodle cooking water together, then pour into the pan. Add the udon and toss for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and clings to every noodle. Loosen with a splash of water if needed and season with black pepper.
Divide between warm bowls and finish with spring onions, sesame seeds and nori.
