Ramps with Sumiso

Posted on Apr 14, 2009 in Recipes

Sumiso is vinegar flavored, mellow-sweet miso sauce.  It goes very well with quickly blanched or even raw ramps which is packed with pleasant garlicky flavor.

Sumiso:

5 tablespoons sweet Saikyo miso

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

Drops of usukuchi shoyu (light color shoyu)

Dashi (fish stock)

Mix miso, rice vinegar, sugar and drops of usukuchi shoyu in a bowl.  Add generous amount of dashi (fish stock) to the mixture to adjust the texture.  Here I am serving ramps and shiitake mushrooms, both of which I blanched quickly in salted boiling water, with simple and delicious sumiso sauce.
