You might be surprised by the many ways you can use miso in your cooking!
Our Miso's add a flavour boost for soups, stocks, sauces, marinades and more. Here are some of our favourites...
• Perfect for a compound butter for vegetables, chicken, or seafood. Just mix 25-30g into 100g of softened unsalted butter, roll into a cylinder, and chill before cutting into disks.
• An instant umami-laden vegan stock base. It's easy, just add water.

• Make a delicious French-style butter sauce by whisking 30-40g of your Miso into 100ml of stock or water over low heat and gradually whisk in 150g of cold cubed unsalted butter for a sauce.
Yellow, for fish and shellfish, chicken, and vegetables. Level up your sauce by finishing with some black truffle. Gochu, for vegetables, chicken, or seafood, particularly delicious on asparagus.
