Ways to Use Miso

I picked up some white miso paste to prepare a delicious honey miso salmon, which turned out great! Now I’ve got half a tub left and I’m looking for new ideas.

What are your favorite ways to use white miso? Also, how long is it good for in the fridge once it’s opened?

Edit: Thank you for all the suggestions! It looks like miso is versatile enough to enhance a variety of dishes. I’ll start experimenting with it in different recipes until I find my favorites. Appreciate your help!

    White miso is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

    1. Miso Soup: A classic way to use miso. Just dissolve a spoonful in hot water or broth, and add tofu, seaweed, and green onions.

    2. Salad Dressings: Mix miso with olive oil, rice vinegar, and a bit of honey or maple syrup for a delicious dressing.

    3. Marinades: Beyond salmon, you can use miso in marinades for chicken, pork, or vegetables—mix it with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for something savory.

    4. Glazes: Combine miso with ingredients like mirin, sake, or brown sugar to create a flavorful glaze for roasted or grilled vegetables.

    5. Spread: Mix miso with butter or cream cheese for a tasty spread on sandwiches or crackers.

    6. Risotto or Grain Bowls: Stir a spoonful into your risotto or grain bowls for an umami boost.

    7. Dips: Blend miso with yogurt or tahini for a unique dip for veggies or chips.

    As for storage, opened white miso can last for several months in the refrigerator, often up to a year if kept sealed tightly. Always check for any off smells or discoloration before using.

    Experimenting with miso sounds like a fun culinary adventure—enjoy trying out new recipes!
