Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Chili Noodles Recipe
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the knife-cut noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Reserve a cup of the hot noodle water before draining noodles.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together garlic, ginger, and miso paste until smooth. Gradually add chili oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir in sugar and salt to taste, then incorporate reserved noodle water to create a silky sauce.
  3. Return the cooked noodles to the pot and pour the sauce over them. Gently toss to ensure noodles are evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add more reserved noodle water to adjust consistency.
  4. Serve the Miso Chili Noodles in bowls while hot. Top with chopped spring onions and crushed peanuts for added crunch.
