Key Ingredients
Mushrooms – Any type of mushrooms will work for mushroom stroganoff, so pick your faves and get slicing! For a lot of delicious umami flavor, use a variety of mushroom types. Your blend can be as varied as you want, so long as you have 1 pound total.Dry White Wine – If you’re not interested in cooking with alcohol, no problem. It adds an extra flavor to the sauce and helps deglaze the skillet, but you can substitute additional vegetable broth instead. The flavor won’t be quite the same, but it’ll still be delicious.Egg Noodles – Common in stroganoff, egg noodles add a great texture to the dish. You could sub these with any type of noodle you choose, even zucchini noodles, or use mashed potatoes or cauliflower instead.
Chef’s Tips
If your mushroom stroganoff sauce is too thick for your preferences, add a little more vegetable broth to thin it back out. If it’s too thin, add a little more sour cream or let it simmer a little longer.Don’t overcrowd the skillet. If you have too many mushrooms to fit in the skillet comfortably at the same time, cook them all in batches. Otherwise they’ll end up uneven and rubbery.Remove the skillet from the heat before stirring in the sour cream. If the pan is too hot, the dairy can separate or curdle and you won’t get that beautifully creaminess you want in your mushroom stroganoff.
