Kimchi And Miso Noodle Soup Recipes

MISO CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a covered large pot over high heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk the miso and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. (You do this so that the miso can easily integrate with the stock, otherwise you'll get big clumps.) Add this to the pot with the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the scallions, and tofu.
• Return to a boil and add the noodles. Cook until they're just barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the chicken and cook until the noodles are al dente and the chicken is hot, 2 to 3 minutes more. Ladle the soup into bowls while it's super hot and then drop an egg yolk into each bowl. Stir to mix the yolk into the soup, and then top with the kimchi and more scallion greens.

KIMCHI AND MISO NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• First, put your mushrooms into a bowl with the tamari, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the honey, and put to one side to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
• Cook the soba noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and run under cold water, then toss in 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large soup pan over medium to high heat. Once the mushrooms have had their marinating time, drain them but keep the marinade Add the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer with a pinch of salt (you can do this in batches if you need to). Cook until the mushrooms are golden where they meet the pan, then toss and keep cooking until the mushrooms are deeply browned all over-this should take 5 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Fill and boil the kettle. Put the empty pan back over medium heat, add the scallions and sauté for a few minutes before adding the ginger and gochujang paste. After another minute or so, add the garlic and the drained kimchi. Sizzle until the garlic is starting to brown around the edges. Add 5 cups (1 1/4 liters) of water from the kettle along with the remaining tablespoon of honey and bring to a boil. Now, add the broccoli and simmer for 1 minute, or just until the broccoli becomes bright green.
• Remove the soup from the heat. Place the miso in a small bowl and whisk it with a splash of the broth to thin it out. Stir the thinned miso into the soup. Taste your soup; you really need to get the balance right here. If the broth tastes a bit flat, you might need more salt or miso, or a splash of soy sauce.
• Just before serving, cut the tofu into little 3/4-inch (2-cm) pieces-you'll have about 1 cup-and drizzle it with the reserved marinade from the mushrooms.
• To serve, divide the noodles among four bowls and ladle over the soup. Top with to tofu, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Finish with more soy if you like, a squeeze of lemon or lime, and the shiso or cilantro leaves if using.

KIMCHI NOODLE SOUP WITH WILTED GREENS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook udon according to package instructions. Drain and distribute evenly among serving bowls.
• In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions, ginger and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften and the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Season well with salt.
• Stir in the kimchi and kimchi juice and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the stock and the soy sauce sauce and stir together to combine. Bring to a simmer and stir in your greens. Allow everything to simmer until the greens are tender and the flavors have come together, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt if needed.
• Ladle the soup over the udon and garnish with scallions and other toppings to taste.
