Wild Alaska Cod in Miso Broth with Udon Noodles

Serves: 2

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

• Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup miso paste
• 2 cups water
• 2 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce or soy sauce
• 1 package (8 oz.) udon noodles
• 1 red chilli pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups fresh stir-fry vegetables
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 Alaska cod fillets (4 to 6. oz each), fresh or thawed
• Sweet chili sauce, if desired

Directions:
Into a wok or large saucepan, add the miso, water and teriyaki or soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chili, onions, mushrooms and stir-fry vegetables and cook additional 5 minutes.

While vegetables are cooking, prepare the cod. Melt the butter and sesame oil in a pan. Add the cod fillets, searing them over medium-high heat. Turn fillets over. Reduce heat to medium and cook additional 5 to 6 minutes, until opaque throughout.

Ladle the noodle mixture into two wide bowls, then top with a cod fillet. Serve with sweet chili sauce, if desired.

Cook’s tips: Make this dish another time with Alaska salmon fillets. Choose an interesting mix of stir-fry vegetables, with bok choi, pea shoots and micro greens/sprouts.
