Vegetarian / Quick & Easy / Snacks Garlic & Chili Oil Miso Paste August 25, 2018 / by Junko You will get addicted to this spicy and delicious miso paste! So easy to make and good with vegetables and rice. You can use it as a seasoning when you make stir fries too. I added peanuts (or sesame seeds works too) to give a nutty fragrance and a crunchy texture! Ingredients 50cc sesame oil 1/2 spring/green onion 1/2 medium size onion 3 pieces girlic 2 Takanotsume (Japanese hot chili peppers) 2 tbsp peanuts crushed 3 tbsp miso 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp sake Instructions chop onions and garlic finely. Remove Takanotsume chili peppers seeds then chopped. In a small ball, add sugar and sake in miso and mix well. Add sesame oil and (1) in a frying pan and put the pan on low heat. Stir all evenly with a spatula. The the color became lightly brown, remove from the heat. Place a frying pan on a wet cloth and take the heat. Be careful not to burn. When cooled down, add (2) and mix well and it’s done! Junko There are so many Japanese dishes and cultures that are not well known outside of Japan and I’m happy to introduce them to you!
