Ingredients
- 200 g sômen pasta
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
4 tablespoons sesame paste
-
3 tablespoons white miso
-
Golden sesame seeds
Green vegetables of your choice
- 1 full glass of water (70 ml)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the sômen noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, according to package instructions. They should be tender but still firm.
Drain immediately, then rinse thoroughly in cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. You can even plunge them into a bowl of iced water for a few seconds to reinforce their texture. Set aside.Choose your favorite green vegetables according to the season. Wash them, cut them if necessary (into chunks or strips) then steam or boil them in salted water for a few minutes. Keep them crunchy for freshness and contrast. Drain and set aside.
Pour the glass of water, soy sauce, sesame paste and white miso into a large frying pan or sauté pan.
Heat over low heat, stirring with a spatula or whisk to melt the miso and homogenize the sauce. The sauce should become smooth, creamy and slightly thick. If it seems too dense, you can add a little extra water.Add the cold, drained noodles to the hot sauce, then stir in the pre-cooked vegetables. Stir gently to distribute the sauce evenly, without breaking up the noodles.
Heat over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just long enough to warm through. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, which should remain green and slightly crunchy.Serve immediately in bowls or soup plates. Sprinkle generously with golden sesame seedsand add a few drops oftoasted sesame oil for an intensely aromatic touch.
For even more pizzazz, you can add a dash of rice vinegar, a little hot pepper, or even a fresh herb such as coriander or snipped spring onion.
