After buying a big container of miso for making my carrot ginger miso salad dressing, I was looking for other interesting ways to use it. I thought maybe it might go well with peanut butter since it went so well with the nutty sesame oil in the salad dressing, so I did some Googling and found this grilled chicken recipe with just those two ingredients featured. The recipe, which is from a famous Hawaiian chef, Sam Choy, is the subject of raves all over the internet and I had all the ingredients on hand, so why not?
The photos don't really do it justice, but it was pretty awesome. Super tender, a teeny bit sweet, but nice and salty and savory... definitely some umami going on. I served it with some rice and baby kailan (Chinese broccoli) sauteed in garlic and chili. Yum.
Another potential peanut butter miso combo recipe: cookies? I am intrigued.
