Japanese Miso Broth Noodles with a Spicy Kick Worth Knowing About

itsu's Spicy Chick·n Noodles & Broth is built around something genuinely different: a miso broth paste blended by chef Yoshihiro in Nagano, Japan, a region long associated with longevity and clean eating. The broth arrives as a concentrated paste in a separate sachet, made from steamed soya beans, sesame paste, sesame oil, shiitake mushroom extract, chilli powder, ginger, paprika and black pepper. No MSG. No stabilisers. No emulsifiers. Just real ingredients doing the work.

The noodles themselves are hand-folded rice noodles, steamed rather than fried, which keeps them light and gives them a pleasantly springy bite once rehydrated. At 207 kcal per pot and with 1.9g of protein per 100g, this is a genuinely satisfying quick meal rather than a guilty snack. The spice level is present but measured, with the chilli and sesame miso base adding warmth and depth rather than heat for its own sake. Suitable for vegans and certified gluten free.

If you enjoy Japanese noodles and soups, this pot sits comfortably alongside the best of the category.

How to Serve itsu Spicy Chick·n Noodles and Get the Most from the Broth

Preparation takes five minutes and requires nothing more than boiling water. Open the lid halfway, remove the broth paste sachet and pour it over the noodles, add boiling water to the fill line, close the lid and wait five minutes. Stir before eating.

The pot is designed to be eaten as it comes, but it responds well to additions. A soft-boiled egg, a handful of shredded spring onion, a few drops of soy sauce or a drizzle of sesame oil all work well. Sliced chilli, wilted pak choi or a spoonful of chilli crisp take it further. For a more substantial bowl, tip the contents into a deep bowl and add cooked prawns or shredded rotisserie chicken alongside some Japanese sauces and condiments from your cupboard.

It also works as a base for a quick ramen-style soup: add extra hot water, a sheet of nori and a few drops of rice vinegar to brighten the broth. Browse the full range of Japanese soups if you want to build a proper Japanese pantry at home.
