THE METHOD
Shortcuts, in order.
- 01
Soften
Place noodles, water, and corn in a large bowl. Microwave until the noodles are tender, stirring once.
6 min at 1000W - 02
Save the good stuff
Spoon 2 tablespoons of cooking water into a cup, then drain the rest.
- 03
Emulsify
Mix miso with the reserved water, then toss through the noodles with butter. Add chili crisp.
CHEAT NOTES
→ Never boil miso aggressively; adding it last keeps the flavor rounded.
→ Peanut butter makes it richer.
DON’T BE RECKLESS
Use a large bowl to prevent boil-over and take care when draining hot water.
