Vegan Balsamic & Basil Mushrooms With Soba Noodles

Vegan Balsamic & Basil Mushrooms With Soba Noodles

Cooking with mushrooms is my latest love. They are so versatile with both Indian and global cuisines. This recipe is made with staple pantry ingredients and is super quick and an easy one to follow. 

The perfectly caramelised mushrooms are tossed in savoury salty and sweet balsamic sauce with tons of umami undertones. The one process I follow to perfect the cook on mushrooms is not stirring them while they cook. It’s good to flip them each carefully once it is cooked on one side. Also mushrooms tend to not get caramelised if put in a crowded pan. They love their space too 🙈. Tipping in a few fresh basil leaves or thyme works as a perfect aromat for this dish. 

The sauce is everything in this recipe. Made with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic chilli sauce and extra virgin olive oil and just a simple sprinkle of salt and black pepper. I simply love this flavour combination.
