Miso Soynut Pasta Salad

Ingredients

Recipe adapted from Food52.

  • 1 pound elbow pasta
  • 1/2 cup soynut butter
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 4 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons soybean oil
  • ¼ cup pasta water (reserved from cooking pasta)

Instructions for Miso Soynut Pasta Salad

  1. Cook pasta to al dente. Reserve about a cup of the pasta water for the sauce and set aside. Drain pasta. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, place soynut butter, miso, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and soybean oil. Add pasta water in 1/8-cup increments and stir until you reach a smooth, sauce-like consistency. It should be loose, but not watery, so add the water slowly.
  3. Pour half of the sauce over the pasta and mix well. Reserving a bit of each vegetable and herb for garnishing, toss the remaining vegetables, cilantro, and sauce into the pasta, and mix well.
  4. Garnish with reserved vegetables, cilantro, and soynuts. Serve at room temperature.
