Description
This Spicy Miso Corn Noodles recipe is quick, bold, and comforting. Sweet popped corn meets savory miso and a hit of chili for a flavorful, slightly smoky noodle bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g noodles
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of the cooking water.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30–45 seconds.
- Add the corn to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through and slightly golden. Stir in the miso paste, soy sauce, and chili paste, mixing well to combine.
- If the mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of the reserved noodle water or plain water to make a glossy sauce.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Serving suggestions include toasted sesame seeds, extra chopped green onions, or a soft-boiled egg. Pairs well with pickled cucumber or kimchi.
