Chineasy does it: Miso steak on stir-fried vegetables
Miso paste is a fantastic way of injecting flavour into soups and rice dishes and for marinating meats. The umami flavouring creates a smooth and silky texture and, mixed with the charred juicy steak, results in an amazing taste and texture combination.
