My Kitchen Tools:
Instructions:
Cook the Udon Noodles
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions.
Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.
Sauté the Onion
In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté until soft and fragrant.
Make the Creamy Miso Butter Sauce
Lower the heat and add miso, soy sauce, and milk to the pan. Stir until the miso dissolves and the sauce becomes smooth.
Toss the Udon and Parmesan Cheese
Add the cooked udon noodles to the pan, then add grated parmesan cheese, toss well to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Garnish and Serve
Plate the noodles, sprinkle more parmesan cheese if desired, garnish with chopped italian parsley.
Tips
Make it spicy – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or shichimi togarashi.
Add protein – Try tossing in shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a heartier meal.
Use plant-based milk – Swap out milk for oat or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
Garnish - Try scallions, parsley, sesame seeds, or Nori seaweed
