Ingredients
- 1 ½ tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp green onions (set aside ½ tsp for garnish)
- 2 tsp gochugaru/chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 tbsp red miso paste (or yellow/white for a milder flavor)
- 1 serving noodles
- 1 hard-boiled or jammy egg
- Sesame seeds
- Chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the noodles until cooked, then drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, green onions, gochugaru (optional), and sugar.
- Heat the neutral oil in a saucepan over high heat until it starts to smoke, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully pour the hot oil into the bowl with the garlic mixture and stir well.
- Stir in the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar into the bowl, mixing until combined.
- Pour in 1 ½ cups of hot water into the same bowl. Add the miso paste and stir until the miso dissolves completely. (To avoid bits of soybean, use a sieve to dissolve the paste in the water).
- Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Top the soup with your preferred toppings such as a hard-boiled or jammy egg, sesame seeds, extra green onions, and chili oil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste by adding more soy sauce or miso paste if needed.
- For a milder flavor, opt for yellow or white miso paste.
- If using a stovetop, sauté the garlic, green onions, gochugaru, and sugar in a little oil for 30-60 seconds over medium heat before adding the sauces and water.
- To preserve the probiotics in miso, do not add the miso paste to boiling water.
- For easy meal prep, prepare the garlic mixture ahead of time, and assemble the noodles and broth ingredients (except the hot water) in a mason jar. When ready to eat, simply add hot water and stir.
