Miso Soup Cup of Noodles with Shrimp & Green Tea Soba

Be the first to rate & review!

Green tea soba noodles, or cha soba, are buckwheat noodles made with powdered green tea, which imparts a subtle grassy note and pretty color. You can find them in Japanese markets or online. Regular buckwheat soba noodles work just as well in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar noodle soup.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons white miso
6 teaspoons mirin
3 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 ½ cups diagonally sliced snow peas (about 5 ounces)
9 ounces peeled cooked shrimp
1 ½ teaspoons dried wakame (see Tip)
1 1/2 cups cooked green tea soba noodles (from 3-4 ounces dried; see Tip)
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
1 (3 inch) square dried kombu, snipped into 3 equal strips (see Tip)
3 cups very hot water, divided

Directions

Add 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon miso, 2 teaspoons mirin and 1 teaspoon vinegar to each of three 1 1/2-pint canning jars. Layer 1/2 cup snow peas, 3 ounces shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon wakame and 1/2 cup noodles into each jar. Top each with 1 table-spoon scallions. Fit one piece of kombu between the ingredients and the side of each jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To prepare each jar: Add 1 cup very hot water to the jar, cover and shake very well to dissolve the miso. Uncover and microwave on High in 1-minute increments until steaming hot, 2 to 3 minutes total. Discard the kombu. Stir to make sure the miso is dissolved. Let stand a few minutes before eating.

Tips

Tips: Wakame--a dried seaweed--is a typical ingreditent in miso soup. Kombu, another essential umami ingredient in Japanese dashi broth, is dried kelp. Find them in natural-foods stores and Asian markets.

For 1/2 cups cooked noodles, start with 3 to 4 ounces dry. Boil the noodles about 1 minute less than the package directions so they are slightly underdone. Drain and rinse well with cold water before assembling in jars.

To make ahead: Prepare through Step 1. Refrigerate covered jars for up to 3 days.

Equipment: Three 1 1/2-pint wide-mouth canning jars

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
