Stashe's Simple Recipes: MISO SAUCE

Miso Sauce for Just About Everything Because I Think I'm Turning Japanese (but I think I was already there!)






Marinated, grilled salmon with a miso glaze. Steamed broccoli with a miso drizzle. Butternut squash slices roasted with a miso sauce. Chicken and Soba Salad with a miso dressing. Get it? Miso sauce can make any simple meal an absolute treat, Japanese home-cooked style. We got the idea for making a batch from our favourite online Japanese cooking maven at Just One Cookbook.

We make a jar of this sauce which keeps in the fridge for about two months (if it lasts that long before we make another batch.) Health benefits? Yeah, there's a ton of them, not the least of which are immunity boosting, vitamin and mineral boosting, flavour enhancing yumminess.

Ingredients:

270 gr (1 cup) red or brown miso (you can even try half and half white and red miso)
250 ml (1 cup) mirin
125 ml (1/2 cup) cooking sake
1 tsp. caster sugar

Place all ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir to blend and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes to thicken. Cool and store in clip-top jar or other airtight container in the fridge.


Cheers
