Miso, mirin, rice wine vinegar, Garlic Confit and cane sugar are the base for this outstanding sauce. This sauce also doubles as a delicious dressing.
Steps
1
Preparing Your Mise en Place
Ingredients
1 cup HOT water
1/2 cup light miso
1/4 cup mirin
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 tbsp Garlic Confit
2 tbsp sesame oil
To make the sauce, first gather and prepare your mise en place, including the Garlic Confit.
Next, blend together the miso paste, cane sugar, Garlic Confit, HOT water, mirin, rice wine vinegar—blending until smooth. Lastly, slowly drizzle in the sesame oil.
Note: Hot water is used as it helps the cane sugar melt. Alternatively, the whole sauce, minus the sesame oil, can be heated first on the stovetop and then blended.
Once done, set aside until ready to use. This versatile sauce can be used hot, warm or cold, either as a sauce or as a dressing. Any leftover sauce will keep for several days in the refrigerator.

Hello .. im from egypt miso is hard to find in my country .. is it. Possible to do it from scratch and for the mirin can i substitute it with rice vinegar with sugar
Hello, Nayera- thanks for writing. You can use rice vinegar (read the label first, as some already have added sugar). The ratio you would use is one tablespoon of rice vinegar to 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. I would suggest to steer away from white, refined sugar. Hope this is helpful to you. -Char
