Ginger Miso Soba Noodles with Crispy Chickpeas (vegan)

I'm a bit on the fence about this... The sauce was just overpoweringly vinegary and oily 🤔 if we try it again I will use half the amount of both of those. The rice vinegar overpowered the miso, ginger, garlic and carrot unfortunately!

Needs a little more to go with it. Next time we'll try stir frying carrots, kimchi, and broccoli and add that to the noodles, but otherwise it was very tasty

So tasty! I love this sauce, its amazing! If u have a bad blender like me u might want to cook the carrots before blending so they’re softer. I slightly cooked them so i didnt have a strong ‘raw carrot’ taste. I made a bit less sauce bc I thought it seemed like a lot of vinegar and oil, but its so tasty I should’ve just used it. Had to use ginger powder but was still good. I recomend making the sauce and u can use it for something else if u like, like a sandwich spread or even turn it into a soup! Lovely. Also used wholewheat noodles and added some mangetout

Boys and B did not like

Really good but took a lot of expensive toasted sesame oil which makes this dish a bit more expensive per serving. I forgot the ginger in the sauce so that probably would have added the "something" I thought was missing. I think it could have used some chopped carrot, and edamame as fresh topping too.

I did a major tweak. I replaced the chickpeas with tofu (marinated and air fried). Also I'm not a fan of raw garlic, so I put the sauce on the stove while everything else cooked and let it cook down a bit. Also n.v threw on some steamed broccoli. That being said, it was fab. We ate every scrap.
