Notes
- Miso Paste Options: White miso is milder and sweeter, while red miso is saltier and more robust.
- Noodles: Udon, ramen, and soba work best in this recipe due to their texture and ability to hold sauce.
- Add Protein: To make it heartier, add grilled tofu, shrimp, or chicken.
- Vegetarian/Vegan Option: Use plant-based miso paste and skip animal proteins to make it vegan.
