Steps
- Peel and thinly slice 1 onion.
- Trim the base of 1 bunch of shimeji mushrooms and separate them into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring water to a boil, add salt to taste, and boil 420g of pasta noodles.
- Cook for 1 minute 30 seconds less than the package directions, to al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Let the pasta cool and drain thoroughly.

- Divide the sliced onion into 6 portions and place on top of the pasta.
- Divide the shimeji mushrooms into 6 portions and place on top of the pasta.
- Fold the plastic wrap over the ingredients to enclose them, then remove from the bowl.
- If necessary, re-wrap and place into a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing. (This is key!) To prevent freezer burn, consume within 3 weeks to 1 month.

- Plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Place 1 frozen pasta portion into a microwave-safe dish.

- Loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave on 600W for 5 minutes 30 seconds.
- Once heated through, add 10g of butter, 1/2 tsp grated garlic, and 2 tbsp of mentsuyu (double concentrated). Stir to combine while the butter melts from the residual heat.
