This noodle sauce is my newest creation and it is delicious! I was trying to create a miso-based meat sauce for Spaghetti. One day I happened to add Tomatoes to make the sauce juicier, and the result was FANTASTIC! This sauce is great with Spaghetti, Japanese Udon, Chinese Egg Noodles. I haven’t tried it with Rice Noodles, but it should work.
