Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, 180°C fan. Put the squash in a large roasting tin and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with salt and pepper and chilli flakes, if using. Roast for about 30-35 mins or until tender and just beginning to turn golden.
- While the squash is roasting, prepare the broth. Add the stock, white of the spring onion, ginger and 1 tbsp sesame oil to a large pan and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper, then reduce to a simmer and add the ramen noodles.
- When the squash is cooked, add a quarter to a food processor along with the miso paste and a couple of ladles of stock mixture, then whiz until blended. Pour this into the broth, bring to the boil again, then reduce to a simmer. If the broth is too thick, top up with boiling water.
- Toss the pak choi with the remaining olive oil, then place on a hot griddle pan and cook for 1-2 mins on each side until lightly charred. Remove and put to one side. Heat the remaining sesame oil in a frying pan and add the mushrooms, cook for a few minutes until golden, remove and put to one side. Fry the seeds from the squash in the same pan until golden, if using. Put to one side.
- To serve, ladle the hot broth and noodles into bowls, then top each with pak choi, mushrooms, seeds if using, quarter of the remaining squash, coriander leaves and the green sliced spring onion.
- Cook once, eat twice tip: Keep the leftover squash in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 3 days – use for our Butternut squash and sage crispy gnocchi.
