Notes
Storing Tip: This dumpling casserole will last about 3–4 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. Just reheat it until hot, adding a splash of broth if the noodles look a little dry.
Freezing Suggestion: You can freeze this noodle dish, but the noodles may soften and lose a bit of their texture after thawing. For best results, cool it completely, store it in an airtight container, and reheat with a splash of broth to bring it back to life.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free tamari (or coconut aminos) instead of soy sauce and choose gluten-free dumplings. Double-check your miso and broth labels, and you’re good to go!
