MISO PASTA – japanese/italian fusion recipe



Another fusion recipe from me, but now it’s between Japanese and Italian. I present to you my version of miso pasta. This one was a lot of fun to make. We use the techniques we learned from bulgogi spaghetti to this dish. Pasta is already amazing and adding an umami bomb to it is an amazing thing!

  1. This looks really good! I can't wait to try it! I'm thinking of adding a little bit of soy milk to help even out the miso's saltiness with sweetness and it'll help thicken the sauce a little bit (no need for a starch slurry or flour). Thanks for this idea!

  2. Mushrooms are great. I use them all the time to do at least half the stuff I eat. I would not add any additional salt to this. Miso I have has 11g of salt per 100g, so 1 tbsp is 2g of salt. The daily maximum recommended value is 6g. Nobody cares about it until they get hypertension 😉
