Note

Variation: For a sweeter, more aromatic sauce, sauté 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion in the oil before adding the flour. Cook until softened, then proceed with the recipe as directed.

Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The sauce may thicken when cold; simply whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to restore its pourable consistency.

Tip: Do not boil the sauce after adding the miso, as high heat can degrade the beneficial probiotics and alter the delicate flavor of the miso.
