Boil water in a pot for the spaghetti.

Add 400 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water.

While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the sauce.

Cut the bottom off the onion and peel it, then chop it.

Cut the bottom off the shimeji mushrooms and break them into small pieces.

Heat some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.

Add the chopped onion and shimeji mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened.

Add 4 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of mirin, and 2 tsp of instant Japanese stock to the skillet.
