How to make this recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
  2. Cut tofu into cubes and marinate for 15 minutes and up to an hour. Remove cubes from marinade and roast in the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet for 15 minutes, flipping once.
  3. While tofu is cooking, make broth by combining miso paste with broth in a large pot and whisking constantly as you bring it to a boil. Stir in soy sauce and chili garlic sauce, then add mushrooms and green onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add soba noodles and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Spoon into large bowls, add desired toppings and enjoy!

Miso Soba Noodle Bowls

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Soba noodles –Β Korean buckwheat noodles and whole wheat vermicelli will replace the soba noodles identically. You can use udon noodles or ramen noodles as a replacement as well but it will alter the overall flavour.

Miso broth

  • Vegetable broth –Β If you want to have a more authentic Japanese-cuisine experience, use dashi instead!Β 
  • Miso paste –Β This recipe calls for miso so you will want to make sure you have this ingredient. There are a few variations of miso paste like white, red, yellow, etc. I recommend the white soybean miso paste for the best results.Β 
  • Soy sauce –Β Using Tamari or coconut aminos will work well in place of soy sauce.Β 
  • Chili garlic sauce –Β Chili garlic sauce adds a spice element to the broth. If spicy food isn't up your alley, then feel free to leave this out.Β 
  • Enoki mushrooms –Β Enoki mushrooms add rich vitamins and healthy amino acids to your broth. You can choose to use a different mushroom instead or leave it out completely.
  • Green onions –Β If you don't like green onions, you can leave this step out or replace them with chives for a similar effect.Β 

Spicy Tofu

  • Extra firm tofu – Using extra firm tofu keeps its shape through the cooking process but medium to medium firm tofu also pairs nicely in miso soup. Just a heads up, it is more delicate than firm tofu.Β 
  • Sunflower oil –Β Olive oil and vegetable oil will also work in place of sunflower oil.Β 
  • Sriracha –Β If you're looking for a spice alternative you can use chili paste, crushed chili flakes, or cayenne to replace Sriracha. If you're looking to minimize the spice level of this recipe, feel free to leave this out.Β 
  • Soy sauce –Β See substitutes for soy sauce above.Β 
  • Rice wine vinegar –Β If you do not have rice wine vinegar on hand here is what you can do instead: Use 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar plus 1/4 tsp of sugar for every tablespoon of rice wine vinegar.Β 

Toppings

  • Sunflower sprouts – Toppings are made to be to your liking and preferences so if you don’t like this ingredient, feel free to swap it out for anything you prefer. Keep scrolling to see other topping options!Β 
  • Red cabbage – See note from sunflower sprouts.Β 
  • JalapeΓ±os – See note from sunflower sprouts.
  • Spicy Tofu – See note from sunflower sprouts.

What exactly is miso?

Miso is a fermented soybean paste that originates from Japan. It is used to create flavour in a lot of Asian cuisine but is mostly recognized for being the main ingredient in miso soup. The overall taste of miso is also the reference point for β€œumami” – a flavour sensation in Japanese dishes.Β

More topping ideas

The options for toppings are endless when it comes to a hearty noodle soup! Here are some recommendations:Β 

  • Mushrooms (king oyster, shiitake, cremini, enoki, etc.)
  • Shredded carrots
  • Baby bok choy
  • Snow peas
  • Bean sprouts
  • Edamame
  • CilantroΒ 
  • And anything else you’re in the mood for!Β

Storing and reheating

If you’re looking to store any extra miso soup place it in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate it. The best tip I have is to store your soups in mason jars, it makes it so easy when you need to take your leftovers with you on the go! After storing your soup, you will want to enjoy it within three days of refrigerating. When you’re ready to have your miso noodle soup, you will be able to microwave it for 1-2 minutes but the best results will come from reheating it on the stove until warmed.

    So now I know what to do with that brick of tofu I bought recently when I was in a healthy mood and that has been sitting in my fridge ever since πŸ™‚ Delicious looking and probably almost as good as chicken soup in curing whatever ails you.

    I see that soba noodles come in both cooked and uncooked varieties at my local grocery store. Which did you use in your recipe? Thanks!

      Hey Carl! I used the uncooked variety then boiled them in water for a couple minutes according to the package directions. They are usually in with all the other dried rice noodles, vermicelli etc. πŸ™‚
