All-Purpose Miso Sauce
Description
All-Purpose Miso Sauce brings together a cup each of miso paste and mirin, half a cup of sake, and sugar to balance the flavors. When whisked together and cooled, it forms a versatile sauce that enhances proteins and vegetables alike. The mirin and sake add subtle sweetness and acidity, complementing the rich saltiness of the miso paste. This sauce can be used straight as a marinade to tenderize and flavor meats or incorporated with tahini and other ingredients to create dressings. Its density means it's best applied in measured amounts to avoid overpowering dishes. The sauce stores well refrigerated, making it handy for weekly meal preparations.
Ingredients
- 1 cup miso paste I used Hikari Miso® Organic Red Miso
- 1 cup mirin
- ½ cup sake
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
To Serve
- Enjoy this All-Purpose Miso Sauce as a marinade for protein like chicken thighs in my Miso Chicken recipe. You can also use it to make my delicious Tahini Miso Dressing to serve with all kinds of vegetables and salads like my Roasted Cauliflower Kale Salad.
To Store
- Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and let it cool completely. Close the lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
