Noodles with Enoki Mushroom Sauce and Scallions

Really saucy and delicious, these noodles are covered in a spicy and tangy enoki mushroom sauce. These noodles are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner because everything comes together in under 30 minutes. The best part is that you can customize how ever you like it, don’t have zucchini, add carrots or thinly sliced bell peppers for extra veggie goodness. One of my most beloved ingredient in my pantry is this Chinkiang Black vinegar, it’s tangy, fruity and adds this incredible depth to any sauce you add it to. I first came across this when I lived in China town New York and ate at the many wonderful small restaurants there. I was hooked and highly recommend you get a bottle for yourself as soon as possible. This vinegar would make an excellent dipping sauce for these Vegetable Ginger Potstickers with Shiitake Napa Cabbage and Carrots too.

When I am just throwing things to together for a quick lunch, especially during the weekday there are really no rules. I try to use up anything and everything in my refrigerator, which is also how this recipe came about. I almost always have a few different kinds of noodles lying around and fresh ramen noodles are my favorite but any dry ramen noodles would work here.
