Miso is a fabulous ingredient to impact flavor depth and create umami. This dish is reminiscent of an Alfredo dish.
Ingredients :
15 ounces chow mein noodles
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves minced garlic
2 red Thai chili peppers
3 tablespoons white miso paste
¾ cup low-fat milk
¾ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
Directions :
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chow mein noodles and cook over medium heat according to package directions until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet and add minced garlic and 1 whole chili pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop remaining chili pepper with a sharp knife and add to the butter. Add miso paste and stir to break down paste. Add milk, cream, and Sriracha. Cook and stir until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Retrieve whole chili pepper, discard.
Combine cooked noodles with sauce, stirring to coat. Divide amongst 6 serving dishes, and top with everything seasoning blend.
