Have you ever felt like everything in the world would be manageable if you only had a big bowl of slippery noodles coated in a spicy, warm sauce full of depth and sweetness? Here you go. This spicy miso sesame sauce has so many incredible ingredients together, yet it is so easy to make. We have done all that playing-with-our-food work for you. This sauce has the funky saltiness of miso, the warmth of sesame oil, and the zing of ginger, folded in with the smooth nuttiness of tahini and the fruity numbing heat of Szechuan peppercorns. Does it sound like a lot, especially with the fermented depth of koji? Trust us—the complexity mellows into a singular taste you will not soon forget.
