Miso Tahini Noodles

Isn’t it nice to have a no-fuss, healthy dish you can throw together in less than 15 minutes? Because we’re all busy. Or lazy. I was certainly feeling the latter when I made this for lunch.

The dressing on these noodles tastes creamy, nutty and decadent, but don’t fret because it’s freakishly healthy. Tahini is a great source of vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium and iron. And since miso is a fermented food, it’s a natural probiotic and great for our digestive health.

I used baby spinach in this recipe since it didn’t need chopping (remember I was feeling lazy), but you could add in any veggies you want. Mushrooms, red peppers, tomatoes or artichokes would all be nice additions.

What’s your favourite lazy meal?

Miso Tahini Noodles
From Sketch-free Vegan Eating

2 tbsp of tahini
1 tsp miso paste
¼ cup hot water (or more depending on consistency of tahini)
Handful of spinach
Cooked rice noodles, one serving (about ½ cup)

Mix the miso and hot water together. Add in tahini and stir until well combined. It should have a dressing consistency.

Mix the hot, cooked noodles with the spinach until it wilts. Toss in the dressing. Eat!

    I’m always looking for simple quick recipes, and I love tahini, so I’ll definitely have to try this.

    My laziest meal is probably baked sweet potato, but you have to plan ahead to leave enough time for baking.

    Would you say this is for one serving? My family loves it when I cook them vegan food (even though they won’t go vegan), and I would love to do this recipe.

      Yes, this is a one serving recipe. Just multiply this by however many members there are in your family for a larger serving.

    That is a great idea for an easy quick meal with pantry basics (if you like a little more exotic pantry basics, which I do!).

    Just what I needed for dinner tonight! I grated in a little fresh ginger, and added carrot ribbons too. Mmmm. Thanks!

    Hey there! Looking forward to trying this recipe soon! Any chance you know if tahina is the same thing as tahini? Is tahini straight sesame seed paste with nothing added? Thanks for your help!

      Tahini and tahina are the same thing – and it’s just ground sesame seeds. Sometimes there might be a bit of oil added, too.
