Oh, Miso Hungry

Yes, I am a dork like that.

M and I didn't stop by the Chopper, so I had to make do with what was in the apartment.

Soba with Vegetable Miso Broth

1 package buckwheat noodles

2 rounded teaspoons concentrated vegetable paste/stock

2 rounded teaspoons red miso paste

pepper for seasoning

1. Cook noodles according to the package. You know how they usually give you a range for cooking time? If I were you, I would aim for the lower time, otherwise you get mushy noodles, like I got. Drain and set aside.

2. Add enough water to dissolve your vegetable paste in. The brand I used requires 8 oz. for every one teaspoon = 16 oz. water for this recipe. Add the vegetable and miso paste. Bring to a boil.

3. Season with pepper. Add other ingredients if you want.
