Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Egg noodles for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cleaning and chopping mushrooms into uniform slices, finely dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking until mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously to coat evenly and prevent lumps from forming.
- Gradually pour in vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce and prevent scorching.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together.
- Remove pan from heat and gently stir in sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot.
- Plate the stroganoff over hot egg noodles and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the rich, creamy mushroom sauce.
Tips
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Use a mix of mushroom varieties like cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms for deeper flavor complexity.
- Don't Rush the Sautéing: Allow mushrooms to properly brown to develop a rich, deep umami flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause steaming instead of browning.
- Temperature Control: Keep the heat at medium-high when cooking mushrooms and lower when adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Flour Technique: Sprinkle flour evenly and stir continuously to create a smooth sauce without lumps.
- Sour Cream Secret: Add sour cream off the heat to maintain its creamy texture and prevent separation.
- Noodle Pairing: Choose wide egg noodles for the most traditional stroganoff experience, but feel free to experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free options.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh parsley for garnish to add a bright, fresh note to the rich, creamy dish.
