Ingredient Study::Miso
At Restaurant Widow, we are passionate about the ingredients that make our dishes sing. Miso, a traditional Japanese seasoning, has become a staple in our kitchen. It's renowned for its ability to impart a rich, savory flavor that's both earthy and subtly sweet. Our chefs skilfully utilize miso's unique characteristics to enhance soups, salads, and sides, making every bite a delightful exploration of taste.
Soups & Salads
Miso finds its roots in some of the most comforting and healthy preparations – soups and salads. Using miso paste, we create complex broths and dressings that serve as both a backdrop and a highlight to the freshest ingredients.
Sides That Shine
Even our sides get a miso makeover. From miso butter corn to eggplant dengaku, these small plates pack a flavorful punch that complements any meal, perfectly showcasing the ingredient's adaptability.
