Best 6 Misoyaki Sauce Recipes

MISOYAKI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix white miso, sake, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil together in an ovensafe glass or ceramic baking dish. Stir in chicken strips. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until marinade has thickened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes.

MISOYAKI

Steps:

• Whisk miso, 1 cup sugar, sake, and mirin together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade has reduced, about 45 minutes. Transfer marinade to a shallow dish and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place butterfish in the marinade and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Combine shallot, bay leaf, peppercorns, vinegar, and wine in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until only about 1 tablespoon liquid remain, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour cream into mixture and simmer until cream mixture has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk butter pieces, 1 at a time, until beurre blanc is smooth and thickened. Strain beurre blanc through a mesh strainer to remove spices.
• Stir lemon juice into beurre blanc until lemon sauce is evenly mixed; fold in parsley.
• Combine soy sauce and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and sweet soy sauce has reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove butterfish from marinade, discarding unused marinade. Cook butterfish in the hot skillet until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer butterfish to a warmed plate and drizzle lemon sauce and sweet soy sauce around fish.

ALASKAN COD MISOYAKI FISH BURGER

Steps:

• For the miso sauce and marinade: Combine the mirin and sake in a pot and bring to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Add the sugar to the mixture and dissolve. Add the miso and cook until a light caramel color is achieved. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Once completely cooled, separate out the amount desired for drizzling on the burgers.
• For the cod: Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets before marinating. Take the remaining amount of miso marinade and rub it over the fish. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 2 days.
• For the amazu dressing: Combine the sugar, rice vinegar, salt and kombu in a pot and bring to a simmer to mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the kombu.
• For the amazu salad: Toss together the arugula, radishes and pickled red ginger in a large bowl. Toss with the amazu dressing.
• Remove the cod from the fridge and remove any excess miso marinade off the fish. Broil on medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the burgers: Toast the brioche buns. Add 1 piece of broiled cod fillet and drizzle the reserved miso sauce over the fillet. Top with 1 cup of the amazu salad.

BEEF MISOYAKI

Steps:

• Freeze steaks for 45 minutes or so until they are firm and partially frozen, then remove excess fat and slice very thin; place in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
• In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds over high heat, swirling pan, being careful not to burn; remove from heat and cool.
• Place sesame seeds in a mortar and grind finely (but do not grind into a paste) or you may use a small coffee grinder set on pulse.
• Place sesame seeds in a small bowl and mix with miso, soy sauce, sugar, and sake (it should have the consistency of runny peanut butter).
• Add mixture to meat and work through as a marinade.
• Allow meat to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle on high and add a little oil, and cook beef without crowding (you may want to cook half at a time).
• Cook beef about 3-5 minutes or until done to your liking.
• Or you may place meat in broiler or grill and cook several minutes or until cooked through.
• Serve with steamed rice if you wish, and a stir-fried vegetable cooked with ginger and a little soy goes nicely as well.

MISOYAKI-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• To prepare the glaze, place the sake, soy sauce, miso paste and sugar in the top of a double boiler and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often until the sugar is well dissolved and the mixture is fragrant.
• Set aside to cool.
• Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish and generously coat each fillet with the cooled miso glaze.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Remove the salmon fillets from the miso glaze, quickly rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Pour the canola oil and sesame oil into a large saute pan or skillet and set over medium high heat.
• Carefully add the salmon fillets to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the first side has browned nicely.
• turn the salmon over, turn down the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until the salmon flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
• Remove the fillets from the pan, pat with paper towels to remove any excess oil, and transfer to a warm serving plate.
• Using the same paper towls, gently pat the saute pan to remove the excessoil and any burnt bits, but leaving the residual drippings.
• Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water and deglaze the pan to create a pan juice.
• Top the salmon fillets with the pan juice.
• Garnish with the sliced scallions.

• Whisk sugar, mirin, and miso in a medium bowl to blend; add fish and turn to coat. Cover and chill, turning fish occasionally, at least 12 hours and up to 1 day.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove fish from marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Cook fish skin side down until dark brown and caramelized, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add greens and cook, tossing, just until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; divide between plates.
