Miso

[humanvirtue]

Hello, cooking. I have a large container of miso in my fridge, but no kombu or anything else to make dashi. I also don't have any tofu or wakame. Basically, I can't make a traditional misoshiru until I get to the Asian supermarket. What can I do with the miso in the meantime? Any recipes or suggestions are welcome. Fish is fine, but I don't eat other

I whip up this spread sometimes for crackers that is delicious. It is 3 parts tahini to 1 part miso and it tastes nutty, cheesy, savory, etc. Yum!

Miso soup!

er...without the tofu or wakame. You could use it as the base for another soup?

I did this a bit ago, actually. With some Vietnamese noodles, ginger, and scallions. Turned out pretty good!

I mix one part miso paste with one part hoisin sauce and spread it over salmon before baking (serve w/sliced scallions to finish!).

Miso+ginger = a great marinade. Also I like to mix miso, ginger and rice vinegar for a really good salad dressing!

I mix with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, fresh ginger, fresh garlic and some vegetable oil for miso salad dressing. I also use this as a sauce to sauteed chicken.
