# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven or air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Slice the top 1/2 inch of each garlic head to expose cloves. Add a pinch of salt and drizzle olive oil over the garlic. Wrap each head in aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes or air-fry for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown and buttery soft.
02 - Slice the large king oyster mushroom in half lengthwise. Then slice each piece into 1/4-1/2 inch thick rectangular slices. Score one side of each slice in a cross-hatch pattern. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a light coat of neutral cooking oil. Place mushrooms scored side down and pan-fry until golden brown, pressing lightly to flatten if needed. Flip, drizzle with soy sauce, and cook until both sides are nicely browned. Set aside.
03 - Remove roasted garlic cloves from heads and blend with miso paste and 1 cup of water until smooth. Strain the mixture into a medium pot. Add 3 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce, Yondu umami seasoning, and hon mirin to taste. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes over low heat, adding up to 1 cup water if a less rich broth is desired.
04 - Boil a pot of water. Add noodles and cook until chewy or al dente based on preference. Drain and transfer noodles into serving bowls.
05 - Pour hot broth over the cooked noodles. Top with seared mushrooms, sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chili oil. Serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - Air fryer baking time may vary depending on the model used.
02 - Adjust seasoning according to personal taste preferences.
