MISO BUTTER

Years ago, David Chang of Momofuku showed me how to create a fantastic compound butter with miso. Use it melted on fish, chicken or steak (lots of umami); on asparagus, broccoli or carrots; or drizzled on a baked sweet potato (or a regular baked potato).

SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES

Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ears fresh corn, shucked
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi or crushed red-pepper flakes
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, drop corn in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together butter and miso paste.
  • Slather hot corn with miso butter. Sprinkle with chives and shichimi togarashi, and serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the miso butter will be. Look for high-quality butter, miso paste, and chives.
  • Use the right ratio of ingredients: The ratio of butter to miso paste to chives should be balanced. Too much miso paste will make the butter too salty, while too much chives will make it too overpowering.
  • Let the butter sit before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. You can make the butter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use miso butter in a variety of dishes: Try it on grilled fish or chicken, roasted vegetables, or even spread on toast.

Conclusion:

Miso butter with chives is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you're looking for a new way to add flavor to your food, give miso butter a try. You won't be disappointed!
