Salty, savory miso becomes the backbone of this soup; try adding it to dressings and marinades too. We add chile-and-honey-spiked pork meatballs to the soup; you could also use shredded rotisserie chicken breast or cubed tofu. Want to get ahead on tomorrow's dinner? Double the meatball mixture, shape half into patties, and sear for Asian-style sliders.
How to Make It
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add 1/4 cup green onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté 6 minutes. Add stock; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 8 minutes.
Cook noodles separately according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.
Combine honey, sambal oelek, and ground pork in a small bowl. Shape pork mixture into 8 meatballs. Remove garlic and ginger from stock mixture; discard. Stir miso into stock mixture. Add meatballs to pan; cook 6 minutes or until done. Add noodles. Divide soup between 2 bowls; sprinkle with remaining green onions, mung bean sprouts, and Fresno chile.
