EASY SPICY MISO NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the sauce until smooth and well-incorporated. Taste the sauce and feel free to adjust to your taste. You can also add in more of the vinegar, soy, or chili garlic sauce later on after mixing in the noodles.
• Heat a small pot with water over high heat. Once boiling, add in the dry noodles. Cook according to package instructions or until chewy or al dente. If blanching some vegetables, you can cook them before the noodles and then just set them aside.
• Remove the noodles from the water and then immediately transfer to the large bowl with the sauce. Mix the noodles with the sauce until these are well coated.
• Taste the noodles and feel free to season with more vinegar, soy, or chili garlic sauce, if you'd like.
• Add in the cucumber, cilantro, and sautéed mushrooms (if using), and other vegetables (if using).
• Mix everything together and enjoy! If you'd like to loosen the noodles a bit, you can add 1 to 2 tbsp of the water from the pot to thin out the sauce of the noodles.

MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream the butter and miso together with a fork, adding black pepper if you like.
• Use immediately, or roll into a log in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for cutting into slices later.

SPICY MISO NOODLES

Steps:

• Make the Miso Sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
• Cook the Noodles: Prepare noodles according to package directions. Once tender, drain and set aside.
• Cook Tofu or Tempeh (Optional): If using tempeh or tofu, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the tempeh or tofu cubes. Cook for 6-8 min, breaking apart into smaller pieces, until golden-brown. Remove the pan from the heat, then drizzle over 1 tbsp tamari. Toss to combine. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Stir Fry the Veggies: Heat 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, cabbage and onions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add green onions, reserving some for serving. Cook for another 2-3 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
• To the pan, add drained noodles and miso sauce. Cook for 1-2 min, tossing gently, to coat noodles in sauce.
• For Serving: Divide noodles between bowls. Top with tempeh (if using), green onions, sesame seeds and toasted nori. Drizzle more chili-garlic sauce over top, if desired.
