Ingredients

  • pkgs dry ramen noodles

    seasoning packets discarded

    2
  • white miso paste
    3 tbsp
  • melted unsalted butter
    2 tbsp
  • lower-sodium soy sauce
    2 tbsp
  • seasoned rice vinegar
    1 tbsp
  • drizzle of chili oil

    optional

  • garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds

Directions

  1. 1

    Fill a pot with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add ramen noodles to the boiling water, and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later. Add drained noodles back to the pot.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, whisk miso paste, butter, soy sauce, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour over the hot noodles, and stir until well combined. The hot noodles will soak up the sauce, so add some reserved cooking water if sauce needs to be thinned out.

  3. 3

    Evenly divide the noodles among 3 bowls. Drizzle each with chili oil and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
