Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own Vegan Ramen Noodle Salad with Creamy Miso Dressing:
1. Cook Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; set aside.
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, chopped cucumbers, edamame, green onions, and cilantro. Mix well to combine.
3. Make Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil. Gradually add water until you reach a creamy, pourable consistency.
4. Combine Noodles and Veggies: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the bowl of vegetables. Pour half of the miso dressing over the top, and toss gently until everything is well coated.
5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more dressing as desired or more soy sauce for saltiness.
6. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
