Instructions

Step 1: Gather Ingredients. Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Having everything prepped will make the process smoother.
Step 2: Mix the Miso and Ginger. In your mixing bowl, add the 4 tablespoons of white miso paste and the 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Using your whisk or fork, mix them together until well combined.
Step 3: Add the Vinegar and Sesame Oil. Next, pour in the 2 ½ tablespoons of rice vinegar and the 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Step 4: Sweeten with Maple Syrup. Add the 2 teaspoons of maple syrup to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate the sweetness into the sauce.
Step 5: Adjust Consistency with Water. Finally, add the 1 ½ tablespoons of water to the bowl. Stir until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner sauce, gradually add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until it's just right.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust. Give your miso sauce a taste. You might want to tweak the flavors by adding a bit more maple syrup for sweetness or a splash more rice vinegar for tanginess.
