Miso Marinade

Ready in 5 minutes, makes ½ cup.
This marinade is also perfect with any thick fillet of fish.

  • 3 tbsp yellow or white miso (available in supermarkets)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp mirin or white wine
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)

1. Mix all ingredients together in a jar, cover with a lid and refrigerate for up to 1 month.

2. When ready to use, liberally coat pieces of chicken or fish, cover and refrigerate overnight.
