Notes
- I adore the combination of miso paste and Japanese kewpie mayonnaise, but you can use any heavy mayonnaise. Add half a teaspoon of hondashi powder to your plain mayo to add a savoury umami flavour. (Hondashi is not suitable for vegetarians.)
- The white miso paste gives this miso mayo a mild miso flavour. Use red miso paste for a more intense umami flavour, or double the white miso paste.
