  • 60g instant dried noodles (ramen-style or rice noodles)
  • 1 tsp white miso paste (or 1 tsp powdered miso if fully dry)
  • ½ tsp Togarashi spice blend
  • 1 tsp soy sauce powder (or add liquid soy just before eating)

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1 tsp dried peas, corn, or other dried veg

  5. Stir well, top with extra togarashi or a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
