Noodles are basically a lifeline, so you’ll always see me experimenting with it. These are spicy miso noodles that have so much flavor that is a must try! It is ready in 15-20 mins which is always a plus and these noodles are amazing cold as well. All the ingredients work so well with each other and compliment the miso flavor. If you can’t find Miso paste check my notes on how to replace it. An easy weekday meal that will become your go to dish. This pairs perfectly with simple sautéed veggies like Stir fry Bok choy or a mixed green stir fry or even some sliced cucumbers.

Happy Cooking!

• Any kind of noodles work well. I like to use flat rice noodles.
