Miso Soup With Soba Noodles

1. 1

   Cook the soba noodles in salted water; drain, run cold water over the noodles to stop them from cooking, shake off any excess water and set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium sauce pan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and remove from heat. Pour a bit of the hot water into a small bowl and whisk in the miso paste, so it thins out a bit (this step is to avoid clumping). Stir this back into the pot. Taste, and then add more (the same way) a bit at a time until it is to your liking. Also, some miso pastes are less salty than others, so you may need to add a bit of salt here. (Add 2-3 ounces tofu, if desired.) Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Split the noodles between two (or three) bowls, and pour the miso broth and tofu over them.

4. 4

   Top with green onions, cilantro and red pepper flakes.
