3/4 cup low-fat milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chow mein noodles and cook over medium heat according to package directions until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet and add minced garlic and 1 whole chili pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop remaining chili pepper with a sharp knife and add to the butter. Add miso paste and stir to break down paste. Add milk, cream, and Sriracha.
