Miso Noodles Recipes

EASY SPICY MISO NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the sauce until smooth and well-incorporated. Taste the sauce and feel free to adjust to your taste. You can also add in more of the vinegar, soy, or chili garlic sauce later on after mixing in the noodles.
• Heat a small pot with water over high heat. Once boiling, add in the dry noodles. Cook according to package instructions or until chewy or al dente. If blanching some vegetables, you can cook them before the noodles and then just set them aside.
• Remove the noodles from the water and then immediately transfer to the large bowl with the sauce. Mix the noodles with the sauce until these are well coated.
• Taste the noodles and feel free to season with more vinegar, soy, or chili garlic sauce, if you'd like.
• Add in the cucumber, cilantro, and sautéed mushrooms (if using), and other vegetables (if using).
• Mix everything together and enjoy! If you'd like to loosen the noodles a bit, you can add 1 to 2 tbsp of the water from the pot to thin out the sauce of the noodles.

MISO NOODLES WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soften.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the ginger, pepper and leek for a few mins until softened. Add the garlic and paprika and cook for 1 min more. Drain the noodles, reserve 2 tbsp of the water and mix with the miso.
• Add the drained noodles, miso liquid, beansprouts, peas and spinach to the wok and toss over a high heat until the spinach wilts. While you are doing this, fry the eggs in a little oil to your liking. Pile the noodles onto plates, top with the eggs and chilli, if using, and serve.

SAUCY MISO MUSHROOMS WITH UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, whisk the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, garlic and half the sesame oil until smooth and combined. Line a baking tray with a large sheet of foil, place the mushrooms in the middle and scrunch up the sides to almost encase the mushrooms. Pour over the miso mix, turning the mushrooms to ensure they are well coated. Scrunch the packet of foil closed and bake for 30 mins.
• About 5 mins before the mushrooms are ready, heat the remaining oil in a wok, stir-fry the noodles until hot through then divide between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 or 2 mushrooms and pour over the sauce from the foil. Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions.

MISO STEAK WITH NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad, simmer the broccoli in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain both and set aside.
• For the dressing, whisk the miso paste in a large bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, ginger and oil. Toss with the cooked broccoli, noodles, red onion, carrots, tomatoes and sesame seeds.
• For the steak, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and briefly stir-fry the garlic and ginger until they begin to colour. Add the steak and stir-fry for a few minutes until brown. Pile half on top of the noodle salad. Add the miso to the wok with 2 tbsp water to lift the ginger and garlic from the pan, then spoon over the meat. Serve half and chill the rest for another day. You can enjoy the leftovers chilled or reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Will keep chilled for two days.
