INGREDIENTS
- 5 Tbsp white miso paste
- 8 cubes Dorot's ginger
- 1¼ Cup soy sauce/gluten-free tamari
- 1 Tbsp Mirin
- 2/3 chopped jalapeño pepper, de-seeded if you don’t want too much spice
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 Cup coconut oil
- 2 packets (14 oz) of Explore Asian Organic Black Bean Spaghetti
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely grated (about 4 cups)
- 2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced on the bias (about 2½ cups)
- 2 bunches radishes, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
DIRECTIONS
For the noodles:
- Bring 16 cups (8L) water to a boil in a large pot.
- Add the black bean noodles to the boiling water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 7 minutes).
- Drain the noodles and rinse well under cold running water. Transfer to a baking sheet then spread out and let cool.
For the dressing:
- Combine the miso paste, ginger, soy sauce, Mirin, jalapeño and lime juice in a blender at medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and blend until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the oil. The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated, covered.
- In a large bowl, combine the noodles with the carrots, scallions and radishes. Toss with the miso dressing and serve at room temperature or cold.

While the dish looks very interesting (and tasty), it has a massive amount of sodium (5 T. white miso plus 1 1/4 c. tamari/soy sauce) and more oil than anyone needs to make a sauce, 1 c., even for two packages of spaghetti. 1 T. of tamari, based on the ones I buy can run between 600 to 900 mg. of sodium, and white miso, while less salty that the darker misos, still has a good bit of sodium (320 mg./T). I’d adjust this recipe down in terms of miso, tamari and oil (I’d probably not use coconut, but sunflower or something similar). However, it’s given me some ideas for a very nice warm weather dish.
