Spicy Miso Noodles Recipes

SPICY MISO NOODLES

Steps:

• Make the Miso Sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
• Cook the Noodles: Prepare noodles according to package directions. Once tender, drain and set aside.
• Cook Tofu or Tempeh (Optional): If using tempeh or tofu, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the tempeh or tofu cubes. Cook for 6-8 min, breaking apart into smaller pieces, until golden-brown. Remove the pan from the heat, then drizzle over 1 tbsp tamari. Toss to combine. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Stir Fry the Veggies: Heat 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, cabbage and onions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add green onions, reserving some for serving. Cook for another 2-3 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
• To the pan, add drained noodles and miso sauce. Cook for 1-2 min, tossing gently, to coat noodles in sauce.
• For Serving: Divide noodles between bowls. Top with tempeh (if using), green onions, sesame seeds and toasted nori. Drizzle more chili-garlic sauce over top, if desired.

SPICY MISO RAMEN

Steps:

• In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, brown the pork for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, green onions, mushrooms and konbu until fragrant. Stir in the miso, sesame oil, mirin, sugar, salt, sesame oil, chile-garlic sauce and white pepper. Add the stock and water. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes (do not boil). Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the seaweed before serving.
• Hold the broth warm while assembling the bowls; do not boil. Bring to a near boil just before serving over the noodles and garnishes such as ramen eggs, chashu pork belly, green onions, bean sprouts and nori sheets.

SPICY MISO CHOW MEIN NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chow mein noodles and cook over medium heat according to package directions until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet and add minced garlic and 1 whole chili pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop remaining chili pepper with a sharp knife and add to the butter. Add miso paste and stir to break down paste. Add milk, cream, and Sriracha. Cook and stir until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Retrieve whole chili pepper, discard.
• Combine cooked noodles with sauce, stirring to coat. Divide amongst 6 serving dishes, and top with everything seasoning blend.

FIVE-INGREDIENT CREAMY MISO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• Add the butter, miso and 1 1/4 cups pasta water to the pot and whisk over medium heat until miso breaks down and liquid is uniform, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and Parmesan and cook, stirring vigorously with tongs until cheese is melted and sauce emulsifies. (The key word here is "vigorously." To achieve a silky smooth pasta instead of a gloppy one, put your cacio e pepe skills to work.)
• Divide among shallow bowls and sprinkle with nori or furikake, if using.
