Ways To Use Miso In Cooking
Most everyone knows about miso soup, but there are lots of other dishes that miso can enhance. It's like a secret ingredient that no one can quite figure out what it is. Here are some ideas:
Miso Mayo...add a teaspoon of miso and a dash of hot sauce to mayonnaise and it makes a delicious spread for sandwiches
Miso mixed with a little orange juice and a bit of garlic makes a wonderful glaze for fish, or tofu
Miso added to brownie batter gives an undefinable richness in flavor
Miso and mustard also make a nice glaze for veggies
Miso added to many hearty soups, or stews adds that umami flavor that you can't put your finger on.
Add a half teaspoon Miso instead of salt to your scrambled eggs
Miso is very salty because of the process in making requires a salt seal around the crock to keep out unwanted bacteria. Keep that in mind when using it and reduce the salt in your recipe to compensate.
