Miso Butter

Ingredients
4 tbsp
unsalted butter, at room temperature (or microwaved in 5 second increments until soft but not melty)
4 tbsp
miso paste
Miso Butter
Never expose miso butter to intense, direct heat—doing so dissipates some of the flavor (similar to extra-virgin olive oil). Miso butter should always be swiped over, stirred in, or dolloped on just before serving.
1 / 2 cup
- Stir the butter and miso together. Use right away or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to a few weeks. Let the butter sit at room temperature to soften before using (don't microwave the miso butter to soften it).
