7 Delicious Ways to Use Miso

Miso is a versatile and flavorful ingredient in Japanese cuisine made from fermented soybeans, rice, or barley. It adds a unique umami taste to dishes and can be used in various creative and delicious ways. Here are seven delicious ways to use miso:

1. Miso Soup: The classic and most common way to use miso is in miso soup. Combine miso paste with dashi (Japanese soup stock), tofu, seaweed, and other vegetables for a comforting and flavorful soup.

2. Miso Glaze: Create a delicious miso glaze for proteins like tofu, tempeh, beans... Mix miso with soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger, then coat your protein before baking or grilling. The result is a sweet and savory caramelized glaze.

3. Miso Dressing: Make a tasty miso dressing for salads or as a sauce for grain bowls. Mix miso paste with rice vinegar, sesame oil, a touch of honey or maple syrup, and some grated ginger for a delightful dressing.

4. Miso Butter: Blend softened butter with miso paste to create a flavorful miso butter. Use it to spread on bread, melt over grilled vegetables, or toss with noodles.

5. Miso Mayo: Combine miso paste with mayonnaise for a unique and savory spread. Use it on sandwiches, burgers, or as a dip for fries.

6. Miso Stir-Fry Sauce: Upgrade your stir-fry game by adding a miso-based sauce. Whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and a bit of water to create a savory sauce to toss with your favorite stir-fry ingredients.

7. Miso-Marinated Vegetables: Marinate vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, or mushrooms in a mixture of miso paste, mirin (sweet rice wine), and a splash of soy sauce. Roast or grill the vegetables for a delicious and flavorful side dish.

Remember that miso is already salty, so you may not need to add extra salt to your dishes when using it. Experiment with these ideas to enjoy the rich umami flavors of miso in different culinary creations.
