5 from 1 vote
Easy to fix and versatile, this salad dressing complements nearly any type of salad green, mustards or arugula. The dressing is also wonderful for steamed vegetables and chilled/grilled tofu. Avocado and mint go well with miso flavor.
Message from Nami(Just One Cookbook®): “Miso is such a versatile ingredient and it’s used in many kinds of dishes, including salad dressing. I’d like to share this quick and easy sweet miso dressing using delicious M1nute Miso. I particularly love to add slices of avocado in here, which go really well with miso. Hope you will give it a try!”

Grilled Corn wtih Miso Butter HikariMiso
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 ears sweet corn
  • 1 scallion (chopped)
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp. ORGANIC MISO SAIKYO SWEET
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tsp. soy or tamari sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Strip the husks away from the top of the corn to the base, like peeling a banana. Leave the husk attached at the stem end (or you can completely discard it).
  • Remove the corn silk and fold the husk back over the stalk. Tie the husk with string or a strip of husk to form a handle.
  • Mix all ingredients for honey miso butter and set aside.
  • Heat an outdoor grill to high. Spray the grates with cooking spray or soak a paper towel in olive oil and rub over grates several times until coated.
  • Place the corn on the grill and put a sheet of aluminum foil under the husk to keep the husks from burning.
  • Brush the corn with the honey miso butter as it grills. The ears are cooked when golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with extra honey miso butter as option.

Quick Tip

  • It’s easier to husk corn under running water.
