Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach

February 28, 2025 By Patricia 36 Comments

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach will have you slurping your way through a delicious meal (in a good way)! Grab a napkin and your appetite and enjoy this warming dish.

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach make a delicious meal. You'll love these udon noodle bowls for their big flavor!

The other day I was craving potstickers, and that was the inspiration for my Edamame and Mushroom Potstickers with Dipping Sauce. They’re really easy to make!

I also crave udon noodles all the time! I usually want them pan-fried in some sort of mouthwatering sauce like my Pan-Fried Udon Noodles with Garlic and Rapini. Mmm! 

On this day I decided to make my noodles with some fabulous veggies in a tasty broth. Now keep in mind, this recipe isn’t overflowing with broth, like my Vegetable Noodle Soup with Greens. 

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach make a satisfying meal. You'll love that you can easily make Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach at home!

But don’t fret: there is enough broth in this recipe to keep things delicious and warming, and to keep the noodles slippery and scrumptious. I always find dishes like this tend to soak up the broth, making leftovers a bit on the dry side, so go ahead and eat up ASAP!

I added mushrooms to the mix (I used a combination of cremini and some dried and reconstituted wood ear mushrooms) along with sweet potato and spinach. The sweet potato was a good addition in my opinion, and since I cut it into small pieces, it didn’t take long for them to cook.

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach are easy to make at home (and so tasty)! You'll love sharing these Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach with your family and friends!

The spinach goes in at the last minute, after you take the pot off the heat. I’m really glad I added the Fresno chili rounds as garnish because they added *just* the right touch of spicy flavor.

You’ll find udon noodles at the store packaged as either dried, or vacuum-sealed and fresh, and have different cooking times. Keep in mind that when you make this dish, you want the noodles to finish cooking at about the same time as your veggies. Be sure to read the package directions and plan accordingly.

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach are pretty and flavorful. You'll love these Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach for a fabulous meal.

Do you like to make your favorite restaurant-style dishes at home? It’s more cost effective, and with dishes like these udon noodles, it doesn’t take much time at all.

Some of my favorite Asian-inspired recipes you can try for yourself include these goodies:

  • Asian Noodle Salad in a Jar with Spicy Peanut Dressing
  • Crunchy Cabbage & Chicken Salad with Sesame Dressing
  • Kung Pao Cauliflower

Try Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach sometime soon. You’ll love how easy this dish is to make, its quick-cooking time, and most of all, how delicious it is!

Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach make a wonderful meal any night of the week. You'll love these Udon Noodle Bowls with Mushroom, Sweet Potato & Spinach.

    Hi, the recipe directions don't appear to say when exactly the sweet potato is added. At the same time as the mushrooms, or before? Thanks!

      Sorry for the oversight, Tim. Yes, the potato is added at the same time as the other veggies. Thank you!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
