Place water or stock into a saucepan and put on medium-high heat.
Add soy sauce, miso, ginger, stock powder (if using water), sesame oil and pepper into the saucepan.
Stir to combine, ensuring the miso fully dissolves. It can help to press it between two spoons.
Bring liquid to a boil before adding noodles.
Then add veggies.
Cook until noodles are cooked, and veggies are warmed through. The cook time will vary depending on the chosen noodles and vegetables. Follow the instructions on the packet of your chosen noodles. If using frozen veggies, cook the noodles for 2 minutes before adding the veggies. However, if using fresh vegetables that require cooking, such as carrot or broccoli, add these before the noodles and cook for three minutes before adding the noodles.
Serve as is or with your chosen proteins or toppings.
