Butter Garlic Miso Noodles With Mushrooms Recipes

BUTTER GARLIC MISO NOODLES WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in your pasta when ready. Cooking until al dente (see your pasta container for instructions).
• While the water is boiling, in a medium sized pan, melt your butter and sauté the mushrooms.
• After 2 minutes, add in the minced garlic and sauté.
• Add in the pasta noodles. Pour in the reserved miso paste, pasta water, and parmesan. Stir to combine and to coat the pasta with the sauce.

SAUCY MISO MUSHROOMS WITH UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, whisk the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, garlic and half the sesame oil until smooth and combined. Line a baking tray with a large sheet of foil, place the mushrooms in the middle and scrunch up the sides to almost encase the mushrooms. Pour over the miso mix, turning the mushrooms to ensure they are well coated. Scrunch the packet of foil closed and bake for 30 mins.
• About 5 mins before the mushrooms are ready, heat the remaining oil in a wok, stir-fry the noodles until hot through then divide between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 or 2 mushrooms and pour over the sauce from the foil. Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions.

FIVE-INGREDIENT CREAMY MISO PASTA

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.
