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.

Time 7h

Yield About 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 1

1/2 cup miso

Steps:

  • 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.)
