Miso Greens Recipes

WHITE BEANS WITH RADISHES, MISO AND GREENS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the miso with 1/4 cup water until dissolved. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the beans and toss to coat with the garlic butter. Add the miso mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. The beans should be a bit saucy, so thin it out with a tablespoon or so of water if needed.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the greens and radishes. Gently toss until the greens are just wilted. Squeeze with lemon juice, season with pepper and gently toss again.

SAUTéED COLLARD GREENS WITH CARAMELIZED MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat miso in a large skillet over medium, stirring constantly, until it starts to caramelize and brown (it will be very dark), about 3 minutes. Add mirin and vinegar, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to low and, stirring constantly, add butter one piece at a time; stir until emulsified. Transfer miso butter to a small bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out skillet. Heat oil over medium and cook garlic, smashing with a spoon, until golden brown and broken into bits, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a small bowl; season with salt.
• Working in batches, add collard greens to same skillet, tossing and letting them wilt slightly before adding more; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until all greens are wilted, bright green, and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add half of reserved miso butter and toss to coat.
• Transfer collard greens to a large serving bowl and drizzle with remaining miso butter. Top with reserved garlic and squeeze lemon over.

MISO DRESSING RECIPE (MISO VINAIGRETTE)

Steps:

• In medium bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, miso, honey, sesame oil and soy sauce until smooth. Makes about 1/2 cup dressing. Dressing can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

15-MINUTE MISO SOUP WITH GREENS AND TOFU

Steps:

• Place vegetable broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a low simmer.
• In the meantime, place miso (starting with lesser end of range) into a small bowl, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth. This will ensure it doesn't clump when added to the soup later. Set aside.
• To the broth add chard (or other greens of choice), green onion, and tofu (if using silken, add at the end of cooking) and cook for 5 minutes. Then add nori and stir. Remove from heat, add miso mixture, and stir to combine.
• Taste and add more miso or a pinch of sea salt if desired. Serve warm. Best when fresh.

JOE WICKS' MISO TOFU WITH STIR-FRIED GINGER GREENS RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil a kettle. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with kitchen paper. Cut the tofu into cubes.
• Rip the leaves off the spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips. Cut the pak choi in half, separating the white bases and green tops. Cut the white bases into bite-sized pieces. Cover the edamame beans with boiled water.
• Add the miso paste and mirin to a small bowl with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and mix until smooth - this is your miso glaze. Peel and finely slice (don't chop!) the garlic. Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop the ginger into batons.
• Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 min or until browned all over and starting to crisp.
• Meanwhile, heat a a separate wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shredded spring greens and pak choi bases and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to wilt.
• Drain, then add the edamame beans, pak choi tops and chopped ginger and garlic to the greens and cook for a further 2-3 min or until fragrant and everything is tender with a bite. Add the soy sauce and give everything a good mix up - these are your ginger greens.
• Once the tofu is golden, add the miso glaze and cook for 2-3 min or until the sauce has coated the tofu and starting to caramelise. Sprinkle over the black sesame seeds.
• Serve the miso tofu with the stir-fried greens to the side. Enjoy!

MISO SALMON (& MORE MISO RECIPES!)

Steps:

• Let salmon rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the miso glaze: Whisk the miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, Sriracha and kosher salt together in a small bowl until smooth (the miso may have a few lumps depending on its texture, which is okay).
• Preheat the broiler to high. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil skin side down. Brush salmon liberally with the glaze (1 to 2 tablespoons).
• Broil about 4 to 5 minutes for very thin salmon or 7 to 10 minutes for 1-inch thick salmon, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). Brush with more of the glaze and serve.

MISO GREENS

Steps:

• Stem and chop the kale and mustard greens, discarding half of the stems and chopping the rest. Combine the miso paste, Sriracha and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the stems, cooking until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped greens, pour the miso mixture over them and cook until the greens are tender, about 5 minutes.
