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.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.

HOW TO USE

Rub generously on thinly sliced pork cutlets before frying—serve over rice and sprinkle with scallions for a great version of traditional Japanese shogayaki. You can also try this technique on chicken cutlets, shrimp, salmon and even vegetables. We especially like how the savory, nutty miso pairs with hearty brassicas like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli. Also, when mixed into melted butter, it’s killer brushed across corn on the cob.
