things people ask

• How much miso goes into a single bowl of miso soup?
  About 1 tablespoon (17 g) per cup of dashi is the standard ratio, adjusted to taste depending on whether you're using white or red miso. White miso is sweeter, so some cooks push to 1½ tablespoons; red miso is saltier and 1 tablespoon is usually plenty. Always whisk it into warm — not boiling — dashi to keep the live cultures and aroma intact.
• What's a good miso vinaigrette ratio?
  A reliable starting point is 1 tablespoon miso, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon neutral oil, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple, whisked smooth. That makes enough dressing for a salad for two. White miso gives a creamy, mellow dressing; red miso pulls it darker and more savory and usually wants extra acid to balance.
• How do I make miso butter for corn or pasta?
  Mash 2 tablespoons softened butter with 1 tablespoon miso (17 g) and a squeeze of lemon. That's enough to coat two ears of grilled corn or finish a single-serving bowl of pasta — toss it in off the heat with a splash of starchy cooking water. Scale up by tablespoon for bigger batches; the 1:2 miso-to-butter ratio holds.
