Miso bolognaise

On a rare baby-free outing the other weekend I made it to Cho Cho San for lunch and it was delicious! One of our favourite dishes was the Japanese bolognaise so I thought I would try and recreate it at home.

My version is a tad healthier as I made it with chicken mince and lots of veges but it still retains the salty umami goodness that is miso. I served it with udon noodles but you could also have the bolognaise on ramen noodles or rice.
