Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water (for slurry)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Warm the olive or sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and garlic, sautéing for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and fragrant to form the flavor base.
  2. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors without sticking.
  3. Mix Miso Paste: In a small bowl, blend miso paste with a bit of warm water or broth until smooth. Slowly whisk this mixture into the simmering pot off the heat to preserve probiotics and avoid lumps.
  4. Thicken the Gravy: Combine arrowroot or cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Gradually stir this into the pan while stirring continuously. Return to low heat and cook for 2 minutes until thickened to desired consistency.
  5. Adjust and Serve: Taste the gravy and add soy sauce or tamari if needed for extra saltiness. Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use low heat when adding miso to preserve probiotics and flavor.
  • Dissolve miso in warm liquid separately before adding to prevent clumps.
  • Adjust thickener quantity gradually to get the perfect texture.
  • Use fresh garlic and onion for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Store leftover gravy in an airtight container refrigerated up to 4 days.
