Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the noodles, saving a splash of pasta water for later use.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Stir in 3 tablespoons of miso paste and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce until smooth.
- Add the cooked udon noodles into the pan with the creamy miso sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes on heat.
- Gently fold in your chopped seasonal vegetables and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly. Remove the pan from heat once everything is combined.
- Plate the creamy udon and garnish with sliced green onions before serving warm.

Notes
Save a bit of pasta water before draining the noodles to adjust the sauce's consistency. Cook the noodles just until al dente for the best texture. Always taste the sauce before serving to adjust seasoning if necessary.
