Description

Enjoy a comforting bowl of Miso Noodles, featuring udon or soba noodles tossed in a savory miso sauce with vibrant mixed vegetables. This quick and easy dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a cozy meal at home.


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

  1. Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, add the noodles. Udon typically takes 8-10 minutes, while soba takes 4-6 minutes. Check package instructions for exact times.
  3. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
  6. If too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water to thin it out.
  7. In a large skillet or wok, heat a splash of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Add mixed vegetables and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  9. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. Once simmering, add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables.
  11. Pour the miso sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss gently to coat.
  12. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes, adding more broth or water if needed.
  13. Remove from heat and divide the noodles and vegetables into bowls.
  14. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
