Miso Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Put the noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soften.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the ginger, pepper and leek for a few mins until softened. Add the garlic and paprika and cook for 1 min more. Drain the noodles, reserve 2 tbsp of the water and mix with the miso.
• Add the drained noodles, miso liquid, beansprouts, peas and spinach to the wok and toss over a high heat until the spinach wilts. While you are doing this, fry the eggs in a little oil to your liking. Pile the noodles onto plates, top with the eggs and chilli, if using, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• Add the butter, miso and 1 1/4 cups pasta water to the pot and whisk over medium heat until miso breaks down and liquid is uniform, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and Parmesan and cook, stirring vigorously with tongs until cheese is melted and sauce emulsifies. (The key word here is "vigorously." To achieve a silky smooth pasta instead of a gloppy one, put your cacio e pepe skills to work.)
• Divide among shallow bowls and sprinkle with nori or furikake, if using.

Steps:

• For the noodles and dressing: Begin by making the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the miso, soy sauce, 1/4 cup hot water, mirin, canola oil, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Whisk together well and set aside.
• In a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch the sugar snap peas until bright green and just tender, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside. Add the soba noodles to the hot water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Then strain and rinse under cold running water (this will stop the cooking process and gives the soba noodles their distinctive springy texture). Toss the noodles in the dressing and fold in the sugar snap peas and julienned carrot. Set aside until ready to serve.
• For the seared ahi tuna: In a large mixing bowl, make a quick marinade of the canola oil, sweet soy sauce, yuzu, sesame oil and ginger. Whisk together to combine. Carefully cut the tuna into 1 1/2-inch cubes and place in the marinade and toss to coat well (it will be a very light coating/marinade as the tuna shouldn't be too wet when searing).
• Thread 4 pieces of tuna per bamboo skewer (4 cubes per skewer, 8 skewers total). Mix the sesame seeds together and spread out on a flat platter. Take each skewer and press the tuna into the sesame seed mixture so it is well coated on all 4 sides.
• Heat a flat grill plate to high heat. Brush lightly with some oil to clean the grates and create a nonstick surface. Grill the tuna skewers just a few seconds on each of the 4 sides so the sesame seeds are toasted and crunchy and the tuna is rare in the middle, 30 to 35 seconds.
• Serve the tuna skewers on a bed of the dressed soba noodles and garnish with some sliced scallions.

Steps:

• For the salad, simmer the broccoli in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain both and set aside.
• For the dressing, whisk the miso paste in a large bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, ginger and oil. Toss with the cooked broccoli, noodles, red onion, carrots, tomatoes and sesame seeds.
• For the steak, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and briefly stir-fry the garlic and ginger until they begin to colour. Add the steak and stir-fry for a few minutes until brown. Pile half on top of the noodle salad. Add the miso to the wok with 2 tbsp water to lift the ginger and garlic from the pan, then spoon over the meat. Serve half and chill the rest for another day. You can enjoy the leftovers chilled or reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Will keep chilled for two days.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are partially cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, miso paste, sesame oil, and honey in a wok over medium heat and cook until sizzling. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tofu and cook for about 1 minute.
• Drain udon noodles and add to wok with water. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add spinach and green onions; mix until spinach has wilted. Stir in soy sauce.
• Ladle into two bowls. Drizzle with Sriracha and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Steps:

• Put noodles in a bowl with water to cover, and set aside.
• Trim mushrooms, and wipe off grit with a damp cloth. Snap off stems, and chop finely. Slice caps thinly, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a soup pot. Add scallion whites, mushrooms and carrot, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mushrooms begin to soften, for about 2 minutes.
• Add 5 cups water, and bring to a boil. Add edamame, and cook for 4 minutes. Drain noodles, and add to pot with spinach and ginger.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until edamame are tender but still firm, for about 1 minute more. Stir in scallion greens.
• Blend 4 tablespoons miso into 1 cup warm water, using a fork to mix. Reduce heat to low, and stir miso into soup, adding more miso for a more intense flavor, if desired.
• Add sesame oil and tamari to taste. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles; set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine rice noodles with edamame, cucumber, and onions.
• In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, rice vinegar, white miso, soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic together with a whisk.
• Pour sauce over noodle mixture; toss until all noodles are evenly coated. Top with bean sprouts and cilantro.
