Instructions
1. Cook the Noodles
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.

Drain and rinse with cool water to prevent sticking.
-
Toss with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and set aside.
2. Make the Miso Sauce
-
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and warm water until smooth.
3. Toss Everything Together
-
Heat a pan over medium heat and pour in the miso sauce.

4. Garnish & Serve
-
Transfer to bowls and top with green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes or sriracha (if using).

Notes
- Use fresh noodles if possible – They absorb the sauce better than dried noodles.
- Adjust sauce consistency – Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
- Make it spicy – Stir in chili oil, sriracha, or red pepper flakes.
