- 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)
Directions
Step 1
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Toss the cooked noodles in the warm miso sauce until evenly coated. Make sure the noodles are well combined with the sauce.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Spicy Miso Noodles!
