Usage Instructions
A little goes a long way with Aka Miso Paste due to its concentrated flavor.
- For Miso Soup: Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of paste per cup of dashi or vegetable broth. Add tofu, seaweed, and scallions for a classic soup. Do not boil the miso paste, as this can diminish its flavor and nutritional benefits. Add it at the end of cooking over low heat.
- For Marinades & Glazes: Mix the paste with ingredients like soy sauce, mirin, sake, or ginger to create a rich marinade for fish, chicken, or pork.
- For Dressings: Whisk a small amount into vinaigrettes for a savory twist on your salads.
