  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 200g (7 oz) ramen, udon, soba, or spaghetti noodles

  • 2 tbsp miso paste (red for bold flavor, white for milder)

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp chili oil or chili garlic paste (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • Optional toppings:

    • Soft-boiled eggs (halved)

    • Chopped green onions (scallions)

    • Toasted sesame seeds

    • Sautéed mushrooms

    • Tofu, edamame, or vegetables of choice

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth.

  3. In a pan (optional): sauté tofu, mushrooms, or vegetables if desired.

  4. Toss the noodles with the sauce until evenly coated.

  5. Serve hot, topped with eggs, scallions, sesame seeds, or any preferred garnish.

Notes

  • Adjust chili oil based on spice tolerance.

  • Red miso has a stronger, saltier flavor; white miso is milder and slightly sweeter.

  • For a soupier version, add 1–2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth.

  • Great for meal prep—store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
