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.

Thank you for the comment, Asa. It’s great to hear from you. I have cooked your ‘Golubtsi’ a few times since then. I have been using Cabbages more often these days. I love Cabbages! by the way, did you like this sauce?
