Miso ginger sauce is an Asian flavored sauce with a little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet. Put this delicious sauce together in just 15 minutes to add flavor to your fish, shrimp, chicken, pasta or vegetables!
I first tasted a version of this sauce at the Bristol Seafood Grill, which is my favorite seafood restaurant, and I fell in love😍.
It was served with swordfish, orzo, and vegetables coated in this heavenly sauce. I loved it so much, that the next time I ordered double vegetables and no orzo, that’s how good it was!
I don’t have the Bristol’s recipe for their “soy glace”, but after much experimentation, I came up with a sauce that I think is even more flavorful!
How to Make Miso Ginger Sauce
Peel and mince a 2 inch piece of ginger and peel and finely chop 2 cloves of garlic.
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: A simple and safe way to peel ginger is to use the back of a spoon to scrape off the skin.
To make 1 cup of miso ginger sauce, sautee the ginger and 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.
Miso paste is sometimes hard to find. I actually went to three grocery stores before I found it.
I found this miso paste in the refrigerator section at Whole Foods. It’s definitely worth the search. Without the miso paste, the flavor is not the same.
Bring the whole thing to a boil, remove from the heat, and you’re done!
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: If you like, the sauce can be blended so that there are no chunks of ginger or garlic.
Once the mixture boils, it thickens up and turns in to this super flavorful sauce that goes with just about anything!
