Miso Horny? Miso Stir-Fry

The other night Emmett and I made a yummy Miso stir fry to celebrate the purchase of our fancy new wok.

Because this dish was made before we thought of making the blog, there arnt any pictures of the food. Sorry.

So to make the miso dressing (is dressing the right word? Topping? Awesomesauce?) we used;

  • 3 Tablespoons miso paste
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
We ended up chopping way to much veggies and had to double this.

Heat 2 tablespoons Peanut Oil in the wok with 3 pressed garlic cloves and about half a large onion.

Sautè until onions are clear.

Now here is where the fun part of stir fry kicks in. You can ad what ever veggies or meat (or meat substitute) you like. We used

  • 1 brick extra firm tofu, marinaded in Soy sauce for 10 min, then pan grilled till some what golden brown
  • 1 orange, yellow, and Red bell pepper
  • 2 green onion stalks
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 2 handfuls of Mushrooms
  • 4 baby Bok Choy
I think there may have been some other stuff in there. But really you can feel free to use what ever tickles your fancy. (Or what ever is in season and is CHEAP)

So we served the stir fry over rice made in a rice cooker, but this may be something to try over something like couscous.

  1. Glad to see you found miso paste! If you can find, try some baby bok choy or some Gai-Lan (not sure if that's the right spelling, but that's never stopped you!) in your stir fry for that very Asian experience!

  4. It was a little salty, but not to much so. If you do find it to be a little to salty try adding more honey.
