Chop the pakchoi, pepper and beansprouts into bite sized pieces and lightly fry, add the garlic when the vegetables begin to go soft.

Step 4
Stir together the cooked noodles, miso paste, fried vegetables and add your boiled egg.

Enjoy your meal.

Miso paste is full of important vitamins and minerals, which makes it a great addition to any meal. You can use it as a base of a sauce, or as an added extra to another dish. It improves digestion and promotes healthy gut bacteria, which is even more of a reason to add a miso dish to your weekly favourites!
