That’s all there is to these mushroom celery leek dan dan noodles! They’re so easy to make but have so much delicious flavour from that creamy sauce. I like the thickness of udon noodles, but go with any noodles you prefer, I’m sure it will still be delicious!

If you have the cookbook I highly recommend you making the Everything Oil and using it as your chilli oil. It’s SO easy to make but absolutely packed with flavour and a good punch of heat. I have been drizzling it on everything since I made it – the name certainly doesn’t lie!
