Miso paste clumps easily; whisk it into the honey and soy sauce before adding to melted butter for a smooth sauce.
Do not overcook ramen past 2 minutes to avoid mushy noodles.
Good to Know
Cooked noodles do not keep well; best served immediately.
Prepare miso-honey-soy mixture up to 1 day ahead in an airtight container.
Transfer to bowls and drizzle with chili oil. Serve hot.
Common Mistakes
Do not skip stirring the miso paste thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Do not use high heat when cooking garlic to prevent burning and bitterness.
