Hello Friends!
I just made delicious noodles inspired by this recipe at 101 cookbooks:
http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/walnut-miso-noodles-recipe.html
A very satisfying, filling, one-bowl vegetarian dish with a somewhat Asian flavor and a very Bay Area aesthetic. It's good for you, too--apparently kale is one of the healthiest veggies you can eat. Mom, can you believe I've almost finished that whole thing of tahini you gave me just 1.5 wks ago? I thought I didn't like tahini, but then I made the hummus, and these noodles, and now I'm bemoaning the fact that I only have about 1/4 cup left.
RECIPE:
Cook 2-3 servings of whole wheat spaghetti
About 1 min before it is done, throw in thinly sliced (~.5") asparagus
Stir in diced tofu and kale sauteed in a little bit of olive oil
Top with the following sauce, whisked together:
1/4 c tahini
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2T miso paste (I used a dark brown kind... not that I know the difference between the different types. This was a reject from mom's fridge!)
2T vinegar (I used 1T white wine vin and 1T balsamic, but this was more by mistake than by design)
1t honey
salt to taste
1/4c warm water

there is more tahini where that came from! You've definitely been putting it to good use.
Can't wait to try the recipe.
Love,
Mom
I think I'll try it with soba noodles.
Wow! I wanted to try this recipe but I have been too lazy to go to the store and buy miso paste! Now I have no excuse, I will give it a shot.
I think Reeves would like your tahini sauce better than mine. He thought it was too bitter. Adding the honey would probably help.
Tahini definitely has a distinctive bitter taste that can be offset by a little honey. But I actually like it - so I'm totally happy with just the tahini and the tang of the lemon. I put tahini in my oatmeal even!
Also, miso paste is quite sweet so that probably would help too. The lighter the color of the miso paste, the sweeter it is in general. I think I might have mentioned this a while back, but some of the best cod I've ever was glazed with miso.
