04 - 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
05 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

→ Sauce

06 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
08 - 1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
09 - 1 cup vegetable broth
10 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
11 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1/2 cup sour cream

# Directions:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
03 - Add mushrooms and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and most liquid has evaporated.
04 - Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
05 - Sprinkle flour and paprika over the vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
06 - Pour in white wine or extra broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced.
07 - Add vegetable broth, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
08 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until smooth and heated through, being careful not to boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
09 - Serve stroganoff immediately over egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley.

  • For best results, serve immediately — the noodles will continue to absorb the sauce as it sits
