Japanese people use miso for all kinds of dishes other than miso soup. This is one of my favorite dishes, which uses miso and sweet sake, mirin. This recipe uses only vegetables but if you would like, you can add chicken or pork. The miso taste really goes well with rice so, if you can, please enjoy this dish with white steamed rice.
