    I love a good sauce, and this spicy tahini miso sauce is one of my favorites. It is so versatile, and I have used it in my vegetable stir-fry udon noodles and miso tahini Buddha bowl.

    ❤️ Why you’ll love it

    I absolutely love this miso soba noodles recipe for its simplicity and depth of flavor. The combination of miso paste, tahini, and sriracha creates a creamy, savory, and slightly spicy no-cook sauce that is just irresistible.

    Using tahini in the sauce not only adds a beautiful creamy texture but also makes it a more filling and satisfying meal. The miso, which is the star ingredient of the recipe, also adds a unique, savory flavor to take it to the next level.

    Soba noodles work perfectly with it. Unlike traditional egg noodles, soba noodles have a bouncy, firm, and chewy texture that brings the dish together. The best part is that you can customize this recipe to your liking by adding your favorite vegetables or protein sources.

    🥘 Equipment

    For this spicy miso soba noodles recipe, the most important piece of equipment you will need is a good quality stockpot or a large pan. This is because it is where you will cook your soba noodles, which is the main component of the dish.

    👩‍🍳 Instructions

    Preparing the ingredients

    STEP 1
    Fill a kettle with water and bring it to a boil.

    STEP 2
    While the water is boiling, prepare the soba noodles. In a stockpot or large pan, pour the boiled water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil.

    STEP 3
    Once the water is boiling, add the soba noodles to the pot. Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. It is important to cook them until they are tender and soft, but not overcooked.

    Making the miso soba noodles

    STEP 1
    While the noodles are cooking, prepare the spicy miso sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, tahini, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, sriracha, tomato paste, and sesame oil.

    White bowl in red orange thick sauce without any visible ingredients.

    STEP 2
    Mix all the ingredients well using a spoon or spatula. Ensure that the sauce is smooth and well combined.

    STEP 3
    Once the soba noodles are cooked, drain them from the water. Add a couple of tablespoons of the prepared spicy miso sauce to the noodles.

    STEP 4
    Use a fork to mix the noodles and the sauce thoroughly. Ensure that the noodles are well coated with the sauce.

    STEP 5
    You can serve the spicy miso soba noodles cold, or you can stir-fry them quickly to warm up the ingredients. Optional garnishes like sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro can be added before serving. Enjoy your delicious, plant-based meal.

    💡 Expert tip

    For the best results, do not overcook the soba noodles. They should be tender but still firm to the bite, similar to al dente pasta. Overcooked noodles can become mushy and will not hold the sauce as well, affecting the overall texture of the dish.

    🔄 Variations

    If you prefer spicier noodles, consider adding more sriracha or your favorite chili paste. This will give the dish an extra kick without overpowering the other flavors.

    To add more texture to the dish, consider tossing in some steamed or stir-fried vegetables. Broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas would all be excellent choices.

    You can also incorporate some tofu. These baked chili miso tofu bites truly bring the dish together and make it more filling for the entire family.

    🥣 Serving ideas

    These spicy miso soba noodles make a delicious and satisfying meal on their own, but they are also versatile enough to be paired with a variety of other dishes.

    If you are looking for something quick and easy, consider serving them with green vegetables. They are perfect with quick pan-wilted spinach, roasted asparagus, or grilled bok choy.

    If you need even more ideas, consider adding some additional vegetables. Lightly roasted cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes, red peppers, or pan-fried oyster mushrooms are all great options.

    You can also consider adding other mushrooms like portobello or shiitake, sautéed broccoli or broccolini, green peas or snap peas, sweet corn, or legumes like beans, lentils, or chickpeas.

    ❄️ Storing tips

    Storing and reheating these miso soba noodles is simple, and the flavors continue to develop, making the dish even more delicious over the next few days.

    To store, allow the noodles to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight you have any leftovers you can keep them in the fridge for 1-2 days. A quick note though: the longer you store it, the more sauce the noodles will absorb. It means that on day 2, your noodles might be much drier.

    As for freezing, I do not recommend it in this case. The texture of the noodles and the sauce can become a bit off when you thaw and reheat them due to the high starch content in the soba noodles.

    To reheat, simply place the noodles in a pan over medium heat. You can add a splash of water or vegetable broth to loosen up the sauce if needed. Another option is to enjoy the noodles cold, as a refreshing and tasty chilled dish, especially on a hot day.

    🤔 FAQs

    What can you use instead of tahini?

    If you do not have or do not like tahini, you can use sunflower seed butter, almond butter, or any other type of nut butter as a substitute. You can check out my tahini substitutes guide for more information.

    What type of soba noodles should I use?

    I recommend using 100% buckwheat soba noodles for this recipe, especially if you are gluten-free. However, if you do not have a gluten allergy, you can use soba noodles made from a combination of buckwheat and wheat flour. These are usually labeled as “yam soba” or “soba” noodles.

    What other vegetables can I add to this dish?

    You can add a wide variety of vegetables to these miso soba noodles. Some great options include steamed or roasted broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, or stir-fried bell peppers.
