Miso Ideas?

[MrsDangermouse]

I have some white miso paste in the fridge that I bought because I wanted to try a recipe.....but I've since forgotten which recipe it was
Whilst of course I can search online for other recipes to try, I'd really like to hear from you what are your favourite tried & tested miso recipies. The only stipulation is no nuts or fish/seafood.

So, let's hear them

I've been using it a great deal since my son turned vegan - now he has left home I'm still using it. Its great for adding that umami flavouring. I think I may have a recipe or two on the forum but I need to look.

Miso chicken is good. There are tons of different ways of doing it but basically you marinade the skin on thighs or breasts in a mix of miso, soy, mirin , sometimes sesame oil then grill or oven bake. Or you can smother a whole chicken in mix and roast.

This only uses a little miso - it could use a bit more I think. But miso is potent stuff...

No recipe - but easy to do: Tofu marinated in chilli sauce and 5-spice then fried and added to black beans, mushrooms and cabbage in miso, soy sauce, vegetable stock and sesame oil. Served with noodles.

Sorry - I'm in danger of taking over this thread!

Miso soup comes to mind. Maybe lettuce wraps on the side?

Miso dressing? Maybe over stir-fried bok choy.

Miso broiled salmon is really good.

Miso, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Marinate, broil, top with sesame seeds.

Miso hungry.

@MrsDangermouse said 'no fish'.

But yeah... fish and miso is good.

Oops, sorry. I jumped the gun.

I've found that miso paste is a terrific substitute for salt in soups. It has a nicely rounded savory quality that's superior to soy sauce, too. I used it in a brussels sprouts squash soup I posted for the last challenge, and it was terrific:

Thanks all - some great suggestions here

From what I've read white miso is the gentlest one, so

No recipe - but easy to do: Tofu marinated in chilli sauce and 5-spice then fried and added to black beans, mushrooms and cabbage in miso, soy sauce, vegetable stock and sesame oil. Served with noodles.

That sounds like a good basic recipe where I could substitute the tofu with whatever lean meat I have to hand

That does sound nice, I'll have to remember that for the next time hubby is away (he's the one who doesn't eat fish). Or maybe I could do him a version with another meat whilst I have the salmon version.

I just really wish I could remember what recipe it was that prompted me to buy it in the first place!
