"Miso is the one-ingredient upgrade that does it all. It brings with it the soybeans' nutty undertone, deepened into an umami funk created during the fermentation process. Somewhere in between all of that, you might even spot a note of sweetness. At first taste, it's something that subtly blends into the ingredients and inexplicably makes the dish taste fuller. The green beans are richer, the sauce more dramatic, and the mushrooms become more than just a textural filler with that savory boost."
"There are three types of miso, and white miso is your best bet in this case. It's the lightest in intensity, and therefore least likely to overwhelm the dish or clash with heavier ingredients. Even so, a little still goes a long way, so start by mixing only one tablespoon into the sauce, and adjust - one teaspoon at a time - until you get the desired potency."
Miso adds a nutty soybean undertone and fermented umami depth with occasional sweet notes. Small amounts of miso subtly blend into ingredients and make the dish taste fuller. Green beans take on richer flavor, the sauce becomes more dramatic, and mushrooms transform from textural filler into savory contributors. White miso is the lightest variety and is least likely to overwhelm or clash with heavier components. Begin by mixing one tablespoon into the sauce, then adjust by one teaspoon at a time until the desired potency is reached. Miso can enrich a tangy white roux or a simple butter sauce.
