How to Make Japanese Style Miso Salad Dressing

  1. In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together the miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, and soy sauce until smooth. If your miso is very thick, gradually whisk in the liquids a little at a time to prevent lumps.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more mirin for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness.
  3. Drizzle the dressing generously over your favorite prepared salad or vegetables.
  4. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salad just before serving. A little goes a long way!
