Introducing Sriracha Miso Mung Bean Soup! You are just one pot and less than 30 minutes away from this spicy bowl of deliciousness!
It’s creamy, spicy, garlicky, and so comforting! Plus, it requires just 8 ingredients. Ready?
This recipe is pretty straightforward. You sautée some shallots, garlic, and ginger in a pot. Once hot, add the yellow mung beans and some water. Make sure to use peeled split yellow mung beans, as these cook faster than whole ones. If you don’t have access to split yellow mung beans, red lentils are a good substitute.
Next, we add sriracha which adds spiciness and makes this soup even more garlicky. To balance the spiciness, I added a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup.
Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the mung beans are soft and have “melted” into the soup. Finally, to add umami and a subtle sweetness, stir in some white miso.
Drizzle with lime juice (that’s mandatory), chopped green onions, and enjoy! Filling, protein-packed, flavorful, and easy to make. What else could we ask for?

This was beyond delicious! Don’t know why I waited so long to make it. I used red lentils instead of split mung beans and only one 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and it was perfect. It’s going into my regular rotation. Great job!
