Kiyoko's Miso Sauce

Cinco de Mayo - Side Dish

My host-mother in Japan introduced me to this sweet sauce flavored with miso and mirin. Miso sauce can stay in the fridge for a pretty long time, so you can make a lot of it at once. Grilled tofu, fried eggplant, or pan-seared fish complement it well.
