What Is Miso Glaze?
Miso glaze is a condiment made with miso paste and other ingredients to create a sticky consistency. Sweet, savory, and created with a hint of heat, it can be used to add flavor to everything from vegetables to tofu!
What is Miso Glaze Made Of?
White Miso Paste: You can usually find miso paste in the refrigerated section. If you can’t find white miso you can swap it for red instead.
Soy Sauce: Feel free to swap this for coconut aminos if that’s what you prefer.
Rice Vinegar: This adds a sweet, tart flavor to the glaze.
Honey: We use this for the perfect touch of sweetness, but feel free to use maple syrup instead.
Sesame Oil: Adds a subtle nutty taste. You can usually find this in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
Sriracha: This chili sauce adds a bit of heat. Feel free to add more or less depending on your personal preferences.
Lime juice: Freshly squeezed is best! The acidity helps cut through some of the heaviness of the sauce, adding a bright citrus flavor to the glaze.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does miso taste like?
On its own, miso paste is salty with hints of tanginess. However, when combined with other ingredients in a glaze, it becomes slightly sweet with a touch of spiciness.
What is a substitute for miso glaze?
Soy sauce is a common substitute for miso glaze, but the flavor won’t have quite as much depth.
How can I use this miso glaze recipe?
My favorite way to use this recipe is in my miso glazed salmon rice bowls! However, it’s great as a marinade with all your favorite protein sources like fish, chicken, or tofu. Or, use it as a sauce with stir-fry recipes like shrimp and broccoli stir fry or roasted veggies.
