It’s delicious drizzled over tofu or salads. If you enjoy a nutty and savory flavor, give this recipe a try! Let’s get started with how to make Sesame Miso Sauce!
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp soybean paste (miso)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligosaccharide)
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (crushed or whole)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1 clove of garlic. Mince it finely using a knife or a garlic press. The pungent aroma of garlic will enhance the sauce’s flavor. If you mince it too coarsely, it might have an unpleasant texture when eaten, so aiming for a fine mince is best.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to combine all the ingredients! In a bowl, add the minced garlic, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp soybean paste, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 0.5 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, and 1 Tbsp water. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds, the key to its nutty flavor. Whisk everything together with a whisk or spoon until well combined and smooth. Once all ingredients are smoothly blended into a glossy sauce, your ‘Sesame Miso Sauce’ is complete! Isn’t that simple?
Step 3
Try using the finished Sesame Miso Sauce in various dishes. Drizzle generously over warm boiled or pan-fried tofu for a perfect savory and nutty taste. If you have some shredded seaweed (gim/nori) and fresh perilla leaves, you can top the tofu with them before adding the sauce for an even richer flavor experience. It also works wonderfully as a salad dressing or can add a unique twist to seasoned vegetable dishes.
