Ingredients

Miso Spice
1/2 cup miso.
Heat the oven to 175. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Smear the miso in an even layer, as thinly as possible, over the parchment. It's O.K. if it's ragged around the edges or even a little thick in places.
Bake, undisturbed, until large pieces of miso peel easily from the paper, about 3 hours. Turn the pieces and bake on the other side, until the miso crumbles easily, another 3 to 4 hours.
Let the miso cool, then crumble it with your fingers or grind finely in a spice mill or designated coffee grinder.(It keeps in the fridge in a sealed jar for months.)
Yield: About 1/4 cup.
Possible additions: Cayenne or other ground chilies; ground kombu or crumbled nori; sesame seeds.
Possible uses: Season a whole fish, croutons or bread crumbs; sprinkle the top of bread before baking; warm it in sesame or peanut oil for a bagna-cauda-style dip.

MISO SPICE

Miso Spice image

Limiting miso to soup is like limiting Parmesan to pasta. For starters, you can dry it and turn it into a condiment (which happens to be reminiscent of Parmesan). Use this to season a whole fish, croutons or bread crumbs; sprinkle the top of bread with it before baking; warm it in sesame or peanut oil for a bagna-cauda-style dip.
