Ingredients
Scale
- 200g of your favorite noodles (udon or soba recommended)
- 2 tablespoons of miso paste (white or red)
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
- 2 cups of vegetable broth (or water)
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, snap peas)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add the noodles. Udon typically takes 8-10 minutes, while soba takes 4-6 minutes. Check package instructions for exact times.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
- If too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water to thin it out.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat a splash of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add mixed vegetables and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the miso sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss gently to coat.
- Cook together for another 2-3 minutes, adding more broth or water if needed.
- Remove from heat and divide the noodles and vegetables into bowls.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
