To serve, I like to partner this dish with brown rice or quinoa. All in all you’re looking at a delicious asian inspired miso stir-fry that will have you swooning.
For the miso sauce:
Just like the veg, the ingredients for this miso sauce is minimal. The base of this sauce is made by combining white miso with almond butter and tamari. I’ve then added in some freshly shaved ginger and water to thin. It’s a wicked delicious miso sauce recipe that’s packed with flavour and umami.
I love the almond butter in this recipe to give it a creamy flavour. And the tamari adds boldness and saltiness to the mixture. But, it’s the miso that’s the star ingredient in this sauce. Adding deep flavour and umami that pairs so well with the veg stir-fry.

I feel like I finally understand how to use miso in recipes, and what flavours to pair it with. And this 20-minute miso stir-fry recipe sure proves it. Before I would add only the littlest amount of miso to my dishes – so fearful that it would overpower. I have come to realize that you can use much more than you’d think.
The ingredient ratios in this miso sauce are almost equal. Using 2 tbsp white miso with 3 tbsp almond butter, and 3 tbsp tamari. Needless to say I’ve upped my miso quite a bit to make a delicious miso sauce that can be used for many recipes.
Miso is also a great ingredient to add to your diet health wise (especially for those with IBS like me) as it’s a fermented food. It’s really great for the gut for healthy digestion.

You can use this miso sauce for other recipes too. Such as my vegetable tempeh spring rolls. Or, feel free to switch up the veg with your favourites. Asparagus is a great addition to this stir-fry, or try using carrot, roasted sweet potato or roasted eggplant. I’ve also exchanged edamame for the chickpeas.
