Miso Pasta Salad Recipes

GINGER-MISO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Add in the broccoli and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the miso paste, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds to a mason jar, cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside.
• Add the cucumbers, bell peppers, edamame, and carrots to a large bowl. Add in the warm pasta and broccoli. Pour the dressing onto the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with chopped chives and sesame seeds.

MISO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the oil, vinegar and miso in a small mixing bowl using a whisk. Season with salt and pepper.

EASY MUSHROOM-MISO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms but do not crowd the skillet. Brown mushrooms in butter, about 7 minutes. Add miso paste.
• Carefully ladle out 1/2 cup pasta water from the boiling pot. Pour 1/4 cup pasta water to the pan with the mushrooms, stirring until incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk until cheese has melted. Add remaining 1/4 cup pasta water.
• Drain cooked pasta and add to the skillet. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

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.

MISO SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Place the miso paste, water, vegetable oil, onion, honey, and white vinegar into a blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

MISO-GLAZED TOFU AND NOODLE SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Start by glazing your tofu. In a mixing bowl combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Then toss in the cubed tofu and coat to cover each piece. Allow to sit in the glaze for at least 30 minutes.
• Next, assemble the glazed tofu cubes evenly onto skewers. Preheat your greased grill to medium high, then place the tofu skewers on. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning as needed, then set aside.
• To assemble the salad, place the rice noodles in a large mixing bowl. Top with the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Toss the noodles to coat.
• Next, top with the sesame seeds, red pepper, cucumbers, green onions, and carrot. Toss again to coat evenly.
• Transfer to a serving platter, then shingle the sliced avocado on top. To finish, place the skewers of miso-glazed tofu on top of the noodle salad and serve with extra limes for squeezing.
• Enjoy!
