Late-Night Japanese Noodles

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie (see Note)
• 3 tablespoons mentaiko (see Note)
• 2 teaspoons spicy sesame oil
• Two 3-ounce packets dried yakisoba or instant ramen noodles, flavoring packets discarded
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• One 7-ounce package enoki mushrooms, bottom halves discarded and top halves coarsely chopped
• 2 large scallions, thinly sliced
• 4 shiso leaves, stemmed and finely shredded (see Note)
• 1 large sheet seasoned nori, shredded

1. In a bowl, gently stir the mayonnaise with the mentaiko, sesame oil and 1/2 cup of water.
2. In a large, deep skillet, combine the noodles with the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Cover and cook over moderately high heat until the noodles are softened and the broth is nearly absorbed, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the grapeseed oil, then stir in the mushrooms and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broth is completely absorbed and the scallions are softened, about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in the mentaiko sauce and cook, tossing, just until the noodles are evenly coated.
6. Garnish with the shiso and nori and serve.
