Instructions
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium pot over a propane stove.
Add soba noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 5–7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
When noodles are nearly tender, add carrots and snap peas to the pot. Simmer for 2 minutes until just crisp-tender.
Remove the pot from heat. In a small bowl, mix miso paste with a ladle of hot noodle water until dissolved, then stir back into the pot along with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Ladle noodles, vegetables, and broth into bowls. Top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Drizzle with chili oil if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Soba noodles cook quickly and pack well for the trail. Rinse your pot immediately for easiest cleanup. Use filtered stream water if needed, bringing it to a rolling boil before cooking.
