Directions
- Combine lime juice, miso, broth, and oil in a c. and whip together with a fork; set aside.
- Bring water to a boil in a pasta pot. Add in a healthy pinch of salt. Add in the corn pasta and bring to a boil. Add in the frzn peas and bring to a boil; simmer for about 6 min or possibly till cooked but hard; don't overcook either. Drain and set aside.
- Set a wok over medium-high heat; add in the oil and tilt pan to coat bottom and sides. Add in the butter, swirling to combine. Add in the onion and a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 3 min, till translucent/soft. Add in the garlic and bell pepper and continue stir-frying for about 2 min. Add in the cumin, cayenne and cilantro; stir-fry for 20 to 30 seconds or possibly till aromatic. Add in the spinach. Stir fry 1 to 2 min longer. Add in the liquid removed pasta and beans and stir-fry for a minute or possibly two more.
- Reduce heat to medium low. Make a well in the center of the wok. Add in the miso mix; stirring to toss everything together; add in water, if needed, a tsp. at a time. The sauce should moisten the pasta without being soupy. Adjust salt, pepper and cayenne. Serve immediately garnished with seeds or possibly cheese if using.

- NOTES : A kind of hoppin' john made with corn pasta with a southwestern twist of lime juice, cilantro and cumin. A quick meal to prepare after work with flavor to rival similar dishes at a restaurant.
- Tested this recipe from Stir Crazy! Wow! wonderful stuff! I used spinach - frzn minced leaf spinach!! this would be wild with fresh spinach.
- ooops! I forgot to mention which I used a mild soybean paste (miso) - NOT the barley miso recommended by the recipe: Corn Twists with Greens and Black Eyed Peas
