Soba w/ Grilled Asparagus & Prawns in Sweet Miso Sauce


By A Slice of Life...Sour, Bitter, Salty, Sweet (Visit website)






I've mentioned in my previous post that my friends gave me Corinne Trang's cookbook called "Noodles Every Day" as a birthday present so I thought it is only appropriate that I actually make something from it. I thought that if I were to make something from it for the first time, it better be the recipe in the front cover so I decided to make the Soba with Grilled Asparagus and Sea Scallops in Sweet Miso Sauce on page 107. The problem is, on my way home, as I was walking to the grocery, I realized that I didn't have any of my credit cards with me nor do I have enough cash to pay for some scallops so I ended up with frozen prawns instead. Prawns are good enough substitute. Scallops can be really good when they are really fresh but they can be bland and tasteless too if they're not so what the heck at least prawns are consistent. The original recipe calls for wallnuts but when I got home, I also discovered that I also run out of them. I forgot that I am living with a guy who's probably part squirrel because he eats nuts like his furry cousin. The original recipe suggests serving this dish cold, but I don't like cold noodles so I served mine warm (more like hot actually). I already posted a picture of this in one of my earlier entries so I thought I'd post the recipe. The author is probably not going to be very happy with me about posting her recipe but mine is an adaptation. I've kept the proportion of ingredients as in the original recipe but except for a few things.

Soba w/ Grilled Asparagus & Prawns in Sweet Miso Sauce
Adapted from Corinne Trang's Noodles Every Day
Serves 6

3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup sake
3 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/3 cup white miso
1 tbsp finely grated ginger (freeze your ginger, it is easier to grate)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
36 medium asparagus spears, trimmed of woody stems
36 prawns, peeled and deveined
diagonally cut scallions for garnish
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, sake, mirin and rice vinegar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the white miso, ginger and 1 tbsp of oil and whisk until well combined. Set the miso glaze aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and cook the noodles until tender yet firm, about 3 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and pour 3/4 of the miso glaze then toss making sure the noodles are well coated. Divide in 6 bowls, keep warm.

Heat a well-oiled grill pan over medium heat. Combine the remaining 1/4 part of the miso glaze with the remaining 3 tbsp of oil. Brush the asparagus and prawns with the miso glaze and oil mixture and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes total, rolling them about to cook them evenly. Divide and top each noodle serving with asparagus. Grill the prawns in the same pan until cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side. Divide the prawns among the servings of noodles. Serve garnished with scallions (or toasted walnuts if you want). We drank a little bit of warmed up sake with it. It was really good.
