Ingredients
  

  • 45 g soba noodles or udon or somen
  • 360ml (1 ½ c) water
  • 1 cm (⅓ inch) fresh ginger finely grated
  • 1 spring onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter

To serve:

  • ½ sheet nori shredded
  • ½ red chilli finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander
  • 1 teaspoon black or white sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles according to packet instructions.
  • Whilst the noodles are cooking, make the soup:
  • Place the grated ginger, spring onion, miso paste and peanut butter into a small saucepan. Add the water, gently whisk together and heat over a low to medium heat.
  • Bring to a simmer, then take off the heat.
  • Drain the noodles, place into a bowl, top with toppings of your choice and pour the soup around them.
  • (Alternatively add the cooked noodles to the miso soup and carefully pour into a bowl before sprinkling over toppings of choice.)
  • Enjoy straight away.
  • Best enjoyed straight away and not reheated.

Notes

Miso paste: I use white miso paste in this recipe. If you have red miso, it will alter the colour of the dish (which wouldn't matter too much!), but red miso is also saltier and stronger in taste, so I would recommend using ½ tablespoon at first, and checking the miso soup once heated to see if you need to add a little more.
Peanut butter: Use a no added sugar one. A sweet peanut butter would be a mistake in this soup! Use a smooth peanut butter rather than crunchy.
Noodles: I use a variety of soba noodles, which take only 4 minutes to cook. If you wanted to use udon or another type of noodle, feel free! They may take a little longer to cook, but I still think they would be very tasty in this soup!
Vegan miso noodle soup: check the variety of noodles you use are vegan as some are made with egg.
This recipe serves 1 person, but can easily be doubled, tripled, or more!
