The Sauce
To make 1 cup of miso ginger sauce, sautee a 2 inch piece of minced ginger and 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic in a tbsp of oil, over medium heat.
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: Grape seed oil is a good choice because it has a high smoke point and it is flavorless.
Whisk in 1/4 cup white miso paste, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 2 tbsp sriracha sauce, and 2 tbsp honey.
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: Tamari is a gluten free substitute for soy sauce.
How to Make Asian Vegetables
Julienne, or cut 2 red peppers, 2 zucchini, and 1 onion into match sticks. Add 1 Tbsp grape seed oil to a skillet and heat it until the pan is screamin’ hot.
Next, add the veggies and stir fry them until they are tender and slightly browned. Be sure to stir them around constantly or they will burn. It takes about 5-7 minutes.
When the veggies are done, turn off the heat and allow the skillet to cool. Then, over medium heat add 1/2 cup miso ginger sauce and warm through. If you don’t allow the skillet to cool, the sauce will burn.
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: To save time and add the sauce immediately, transfer the vegetables to a clean skillet, then add the sauce.
Finally, top with some toasted sesame seeds.
