SPICY YUZU MISO RAMEN WITH PRAWNS
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
100g buckwheat soba noodles (or your
favourite variety, prepared according to
pack instructions)
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp white miso paste
150g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 salad onions, white and green parts
separated and chopped
1 pak choi bulb, stem shredded, leaves left
whole
150g pack raw king prawns
1 tsp Yuzu Juice
1 red chilli, sliced (deseeded if liked)
METHOD
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add
the noodles and simmer for 4 minutes
(watch carefully as buckwheat noodles can
overboil easily). Drain and rinse under cold
water, then toss with the sesame oil and
divide between 2 bowls.
Rinse out the pan and pour in 500ml justboiled
water. Whisk in the miso paste. Add
the mushrooms and white parts of the salad
onions; simmer for 3 minutes. Add the
pak choi stem and prawns; simmer for 3-4
minutes until the prawns are fully cooked,
opaque and pink throughout, then stir
through the pak choi leaves and yuzu juice.
Ladle the soup over the noodles and scatter
with the salad onion greens and sliced chilli.
COOK’S TIP
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit with hints of
mandarin and lime. Its juice is a great match
for all types of fish and is lovely drizzled
over salads and noodles.
