Honey-Miso Dressing: Mash Out Miso Lumps First
Loosen the miso with vinegar and water, then mix in honey to make this dressing. Mix it in a small sauce dish without cooking it like a stew. Since saltiness and texture vary by miso, start by serving half the finished sauce with your food and taste before adding more.
Before cooking for one
Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.
- Miso: 0.5 household eating spoon
- Rice vinegar: 0.25 household eating spoon
- Water: 0.5 household eating spoon
Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.
Miso and water are each half a household eating spoon, and rice vinegar and honey are each 1/4 household eating spoon. First, add the vinegar and water to the miso and mash it with the back of a spoon to loosen it. This dressing does not contain oil, so there is no step to add olive oil. Also check the product label on the miso you use.
Ingredients for 1 serving of sauce
- Miso: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Rice vinegar: 1/4 household eating spoon
- Water: 1/2 household eating spoon
- Honey: 1/4 household eating spoon
The amounts are based on the ingredient list for 1 serving shown in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are everyday measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Also check the package size and cup capacity shown in parentheses.
Instructions
- Step 1. Measure out each of the listed ingredients.
- Step 2. Add the vinegar and water to the miso and mash it with the back of a spoon to loosen it. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.
- Step 3. Serve half of the finished sauce with your food first. Taste a bite, then add the remaining sauce a little at a time.
If small lumps remain
Check whether the miso is stuck to the sides of the sauce dish. Rather than stirring only the water on top, press the miso against the sides and bottom with a spoon to loosen it. Small pieces of soybean in the miso itself are different from lumps of miso that have not dissolved. After adding the honey, mix thoroughly so no sticky patches remain on the bottom.
Serve with cooked vegetables
We suggest serving it with blanched broccoli or grilled tofu. If the food also contains soy sauce, taste it before adding the dressing. It is easier to adjust the flavor if you start with a small amount than if you pour on a lot of miso dressing and then add more vegetables. You do not have to use up all the remaining sauce.

Complete cooking instructions
Step 1. Measure out each of the listed ingredients.
What to check: 1 serving is a small amount to accompany one plate of food. Use a small cup or sauce dish of about 150 mL. Measure with the same household eating spoon you use at home. Level off the top of pastes and sugar; fill liquids without letting them spill over. The amount differs from 1 tablespoons in a measuring spoon.
Step 2. Add the vinegar and water to the miso and mash it with the back of a spoon to loosen it. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.
What to check: It is fine if a few soybean pieces remain. Add the listed water all at once. Mix until it flows thickly when you tilt the spoon.
Step 3. Serve half of the finished sauce with your food first. Taste a bite, then add the remaining sauce a little at a time.
What to check: Make only as much sauce as you will eat and use it right away if it contains fresh fruit, garlic, or dairy products. Miso varies in saltiness, so do not pour it all on.
