Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons white miso any mellow or "sweet" variety; see Notes.
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar plain
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or tahini, smooth, unsalted
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 thumb-size piece ginger root about 1 teaspoon grated, peeled
  • 1 large clove garlic peeled
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • teaspoons soy sauce sub tamari for GF
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil toasted; optional

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl combine the miso, almond butter, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir with a fork until the miso and nut butter are dissolved.
  2. Grate the ginger and garlic with a microplane, and add them to the bowl along with freshly cracked black pepper. Stir to combine. Whisk in 1 tablespoon water and taste for seasoning.
  3. If desired, add the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, and taste again. For a thinner, pourable sauce and dressing, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Store in a covered jar or container in the refrigerator until ready to use. The flavor improves as it sits.

Notes

  • Miso: Since different types of miso vary in their saltiness, you may need to adjust the amount if you try a different variety, such as chickpea miso. In addition to white miso we also tried the sauce with Miso Masters Traditional Red Miso. The sauce had a much more robust and salty flavor, which was good but not quite as irresistible as with white miso.
  • Store miso sauce in the refrigerator and use within one week.
