Quick Miso Sauce
Report
This simple miso sauce takes 5 minutes to prepare, no special equipment needed. It's so flavorful you'll want to put it on everything. Also use it as a dressing, dip and marinade! Keep a jar in the fridge and drizzle it on salads, roasted vegetables, tofu, grains, noodles and more. Miso sauce is vegan and easily made gluten-free. Yield: Makes ¾ cup (6 fl. oz); serving size = 3 Tbsp.

Ingredients
- 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
- 1½ teaspoons soy sauce sub tamari for GF
- black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil toasted; optional
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
