Description
Jacqueline says, "Not only is the recipe unbelievably simple – with only 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes start to finish – the result truly was amazing. I was mesmerized by it, never before had I tasted such a combination of flavors or textures. I expected more of a stir fry but what I got was definitely an asian-style marinara. It’s awesome with bread to dip in it or over noodles, or you could serve it up over steamed vegetables, rice or any other grain.

Ingredients
- 2Tolive oil
- 1cred onion, diced
- 1cokra, about 1/2 a pound
- 1cheirloom tomato, diced
- 1Tmiso
- 1pksoba noodles
Instructions
Prep whatever else you’re serving with the sauce first, since this recipe is so speedy. Jacqueline recommends soba noodles.
Chop up all your ingredients before you get to cooking.
Exact measurements are not necessarily, about a cup of all your veggies, give or take.
Heat up the oil in a frying pan over high heat for a minute or two before adding the onion.
Sauté for a few minutes, or until soft, before adding in the okra.
If you’ve never worked with okra before, it’s notorious for being sticky. you’ll notice when you cut it that it feels a bit slimy, and when you cook it you can see long strands when you stir. this will help to thicken the sauce.
After a few minutes, toss in the tomato and sauté until they are soft and starting to make the mixture more liquidy.
Then scoop in the miso paste, mix thoroughly and cut the heat.
Serve up immediately however you’d like, it’s best fresh and hot.
Notes
Okra: If you’ve never shopped for okra before, it’s not too difficult. Just pick the pods that are firm, without any large blemishes or bruises, slight browning around the edges is fine. Jacqueline prefers smaller ones because she finds they are slightly more tender.
Soba Noodles: Soba (そば or 蕎麦?) is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour.
