You'll Need:
serves 1
2 cups mushrooms, cleaned and rough chopped
1 tablespoon miso powder
2 ounces whole wheat noodles
fresh black pepper
olive oil

Here's How:
1. Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Also bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
2. Clean and chop the mushrooms -- you can use any variety you like: white, portobello, shitake, etc. Add them to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden. Meanwhile, begin cooking the pasta in the water.
3. Add the miso powder to the mushrooms and season with freshly ground black paper. The miso powder is salty, so no extra salty is necessary.
4. When the noodles are al dente, transfer them to the pan with the mushrooms along with a splash of the cooking water. Stir together and serve.

Any idea how much to use if we have miso paste instead of powder? Miso can be so strong and salty, I really don't want to use too much.

Thanks!

Hi Cynthia,
I was wondering the same thing. Did you figure outout how much paste to use? I have some miso paste leftover from making udon noodle soup & would like to use it in this recipe. I'm thinking of thinning the paste a bit with warm water or broth and then adding it in. I'm just going to start with a small amount and work up from there.

Hi ladies! I haven't used miso paste so I would follow Cynthia's advice to start with a small amount and keep adding to taste. Let me know how it turns out, and how much you ended up using! Thanks!

I tried it. Used about a teaspoon of miso at first. Unfortunately, I got distracted by children and don't remember if I added 2 or 3 more. Delicious! I also added some grilled asparagus, shredded carrot, and sesame seeds. Even my tough "foodie" daughter loved it!
