Grilled Chicken And Soba Noodles With Miso Vinaigrette Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN AND SOBA NOODLES WITH MISO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare soba noodles according to package directions. Add carrot during last minute of cooking. Drain; rinse with cold water. Drain.
• Combine oil and next 6 ingredients (through honey) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Place 2 tablespoons miso mixture in a medium bowl. Add noodle mixture, cabbage, and green onions to remaining miso mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Add chicken to reserved 2 tablespoons miso mixture, turning to coat. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with noodle mixture.

GRILLED MISO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, miso, onions, ginger and garlic in a shallow dish.
• Place chicken pieces into marinade, turn to coat well and marinate for 1 hour, turning several times.
• Preheat grill so that it is very hot.
• This can also be broiled in the oven, turning only once halfway through the cooking time.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry on kitchen paper.
• Grill the chicken until cooked through and juices run clear.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds, serve with steamed rice.

SOBA SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Drop in the noodles and carrot and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes; add the edamame for about 30 seconds to 1 minute just to warm, then drain everything in a colander. Set aside.
• In a large salad bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, miso and mirin or sugar. Add spinach, noodles, carrot, edamame, scallion and toss; then taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with grated ginger at the table.

SOBA SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot and add 2 tablespoons salt.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the miso paste, ginger, soy sauce, and lime juice in a blender and blend, at medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and blend until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the oil. Once the dressing is smooth, add pepper to taste; you won't need salt, because the miso and soy sauce are salty. (The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated, covered.)
• Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse well under cold running water. Drain well, transfer to a baking sheet, then spread out and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the noodles with the carrots, scallions, and radishes. Toss with the miso dressing and serve at room temperature or cold. (The soba salad can be made up to 2 hours in advance.)
