Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz ramen or udon noodles
- 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
- 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, sambal oelek, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Heat the neutral oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using fresh), and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the miso sauce mixture into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Toss the cooked noodles in the warm miso sauce until evenly coated. Make sure the noodles are well combined with the sauce.
Divide the saucy noodles between two bowls and garnish with sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, julienned cucumber, and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Spicy Miso Noodles!
