Notes
Storage
- Store this all purpose miso sauce in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or lidded jar for up to 2 months. Before using it again, stir it until it reaches its original consistency. You can also freeze it for a few months. Just be sure to store it in the correct freezer container (not a lidded glass jar, which can break in the freezer).
- Stir the sauce right before you use it to make sure all of the ingredients are incorporated and haven't separated.
- This sauce can burn easily. Keep a close eye on the sauce while it cooks to ensure it doesn't burn.
- To use this easy miso sauce as a sauce for meat or fish, drizzle the sauce on the protein in the last couple minutes of cooking/baking. Be careful not to add the sauce too early or it will burn.
