This savory noodle saute with bok choy, chickpeas, and deliciously addictive miso butter served with a side of roasted brussels sprouts is a weeknight friendly meal you can feel good about. Smarts:Miso is fermented soybean paste; look for it in the ethnic food aisle.
Line a sheet pan with foil and spread brussels sprouts on the top. Cover tightly on top with foil and steam on the lower rack of the oven for 10 minutes. (Watch this video on roasting vegetables at high temps.)
Reduce oven to 425F / 218C degrees. Uncover brussels sprouts. Toss with cooking oil and season with some salt and pepper.
Return pan to the oven and roast until brussels sprouts are dark golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes more.
When brussels sprouts are nearly finished roasting, soften butter in microwave for ~10 seconds. Mash in miso, lime juice (portion for butter), and cilantro. If you like spice, add in a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add some oil and then bok choy to heated oil. Saute until bok choy is nearly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add noodles, beans, and miso butter. Saute until everything is heated through and butter is melted.
Drizzle sesame oil and squeeze lime juice (portion for brussels sprouts) over brussels sprouts.
Serve noodle saute with brussels sprouts on the side. Enjoy!
