Ingredients
Step-by-Step
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar until smooth.
Add the miso glaze to the skillet with the green beans and toss to coat the beans evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Divide the soba noodles among four serving bowls. Top with the miso glazed green beans and serve immediately.
