Spicy Miso Paste with Chives and Leeks Spicy Miso Paste with Chives and Leeks
I love the Chinese chive miso paste that is always out on the table at my local Chinese restaurant. So I tried to recreate it at home, relying on my taste buds. The restaurant's version is sweeter, but I made mine spicy. Adjust the amount of spice to suit your taste!The trick is to strain the water completely from the chives and leeks. It has a long shelf life if properly stored. To save time, mix the ingredients directly in the sterilized jar. That way, you can double the recipe in a jiffy. This is a foolproof recipe, even for beginners. The taste improves after 24 hours. Recipe by Recoty -
Pan-Fried Bitter Melon and Pork with Miso Pan-Fried Bitter Melon and Pork with Miso
I thought of making a milder tasting dish with bitter melon.Boil the bitter melon in a pot for 30 seconds. Be careful not to over-cook it, because the color of bitter melon will fade out. If you like, you can sprinkle bonito flakes in the end which will make it even tastier. Reducing the amount of miso in half and adding Chinese sauces such as tian mian jiang (sweet bean sauce) or douchi (black bean garlic sauce) are very delicious alternatives! For 4 servings.

Back when I lived in Nagoya, I often ate this at the Kakuozan shops (Yukichan Ramen?).

I have heard that Chinese chives are good for the mucous membrane of the throat and nose. I was wondering if I can create a recipes using a lot of Chinese chives. Here it is.You will use a lot of garlic and Chinese chives, so it is better to chop them finely. This is delicious over chilled tofu. I've tried this with both apple cider vinegar and grain vinegar. There is not much difference but I think the apple cider vinegar makes it a little milder. Recipe by Himawarichan -
