15-Minute Dinner · Vegan
Rich, luxurious miso butter noodles, fresh rocket and a spicy umami finish, all from one little saucepan in fifteen minutes.
Faster than delivery, a whole lot cheaper, and the secret weapon is a single teaspoon of my No-Chicken Chicken Salt.
These miso butter noodles are made in one saucepan on the stovetop in about 15 minutes, and the recipe makes 3 serves.
This dish is super tasty: rich and luxurious thanks to the butter and miso, but also fresh and light thanks to the rocket and spring onions. It is a winning combination! It literally takes only 15 minutes to pull together, faster than you could get delivery (and a whole lot cheaper and healthier). No special equipment required, just one saucepan and a big bowl.
The thing that takes this bowl from good to crave-worthy is the savoury, rounded, deeply moreish backbone running through the miso butter. That is my No-Chicken Chicken Salt doing the heavy lifting: an organic, plant-based seasoning with all the comforting savouriness of chicken salt and absolutely none of the nasties. One teaspoon is all it takes.
Year-round I have rocket and spring onions in the garden. They are some of the few crops that handle all seasons, so it is easy to have your own supply 365 days a year (rocket apollo is my favourite). They do not take up much space either, so they are great crops to start with. Want to learn how to set up your own little salad patch?
