Miso mayo is a delicious three-ingredient sauce that adds loads of umami to your favourite meals. Serve it with any dish from tacos and burgers to sushi and salads. Or use it as a miso dipping sauce for veggies.
Servings6 tablespoons
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Japanese kewpie mayonnaise* , or heavy mayo
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- ½ teaspoon hondashi (optional)
Instructions
- Grab a small mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, miso paste, mirin and hondashi (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Notes
- I adore the combination of miso paste and Japanese kewpie mayonnaise, but you can use any heavy mayonnaise. Add half a teaspoon of hondashi powder to your plain mayo to add a savoury umami flavour. (Hondashi is not suitable for vegetarians.)
- The white miso paste gives this miso mayo a mild miso flavour. Use red miso paste for a more intense umami flavour, or double the white miso paste.
