Mekhala Living Miso Ginger Paste
Though it’s a riff on Japanese shogayaki, a dish of thinly sliced fried pork in a miso ginger sauce, this funky and bright paste can be used for so much more. Unlike a traditional plain miso, this one offers a sharp brightness from the ginger and also from shallot, adding more complexity to the salty, umami-packed flavor profile of miso. A touch of coconut sugar rounds things out and produces a malty sweetness. With a dollop of this paste, you’ll need very little else to flavor a dish.
