Note

If you prefer a thinner sauce, add additional warm vegetable stock one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Do not boil the miso sauce after adding it to the stock, as high heat can kill the beneficial probiotics in miso and alter its delicate flavor.

For a richer texture, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender after mixing the miso and stock.

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much.
