Miso tare is deceptive, but easy if you can find good miso. Please don’t use American miso or miso powder, it’s just not the same quality and you’ll be disappointed. You can get real Japanese miso from Amazon these days, or any number of online groceries.
All miso tare comprises of, at its basic level, is a combination of the following ingredients in a bowl:
-
Miso of various types (totaling 2 cups, typically at least 50% white/kome miso. I generally blend 3 misos: a Shinshu, another white of some kind, and a nice Red or Wheat forward variant)
-
1.5 tbsp tahini
-
4-8 grated garlic cloves (entirely up to you)
-
One two inch long piece of ginger, grated
-
One half white onion, pureed
-
2 tbs soy sauce (though more if needed)
-
1 tbsp of sesame oil
-
ichimi to taste (maybe half a teaspoon)
Store in a jar in the refrigerator. Add directly to the broth, or to the bowl, when making any sort of ramen to the amount you like.
