Spicy Miso Noodles are a quick, comforting dish featuring noodles tossed in a rich miso-chili sauce. The combination of miso’s deep umami flavor with chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil creates a spicy, savory, and slightly sweet meal ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz noodles of choice (ramen, soba, or rice noodles)
  • 2 tbsp miso paste (white or red)
  • 1 tbsp chili paste or gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2–3 tbsp water or broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, chili paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and water until smooth.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour the miso sauce into the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less chili paste.
  • For a creamier sauce, add 1 tbsp tahini or peanut butter.
  • Top with a fried egg or tofu for extra protein.
  • Use gluten-free noodles and tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Serve cold as a noodle salad for a refreshing twist.
