Strawberry Miso White Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is one of my experiments combining the umami of the miso with a sweet element, this time with it being in strawberry jam. I was very happy with how they came out! They don’t make the cookies savoury, but rather add a new depth flavour to them. The cookies come out fluffy and almost cakey (if you don’t like this, then omit the baking soda).
Miso Scallion Pork Meatballs
Meatballs are my go-to for a quick weeknight meal because they’re so easy to make and always come out delicious! These miso and scallion meatballs are made with pork mince but will also work great with beef or chicken. They’re succulent, full of flavour, and glazed in a delicious umami miso sauce.
Ginger Miso Slow-Cooked Beef Short Ribs
Short ribs never fail to be one of my favourite dishes. They come out perfect every single time, and this dish is no different. The Asian flavours soak into the meat while it is slow-cooked until the meat falls apart. The miso gives it an umami depth, while the ginger and garlic give it a warm aromatic kick. You want to serve this with some rice to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
Sticky Miso Maple Roasted Beetroot
These are sticky, sweet, and full of umami flavour from the miso maple sauce. The beetroot is roasted until tender, which caramelises its natural sugars, then it is tossed in the miso maple sauce, making it sticky and even more delicious. If you don’t love beets, give this recipe a try, and I can almost guarantee that you will love them.
