Miso and the maple syrup are the key ingredients in this recipe. But, the original recipe also included mirin and sake. You may have mirin in your pantry as it lasts a long time, but sake is less likely. If you plan ahead, you could include these two ingredients, but honestly, using the substitutions in the ingredients list will not make a discernable difference.
Tip : You can substitute white wine or chicken stock for sake and seasoned rice vinegar for mirin.
Ingredients
- 3 tspn hoisin or oyster sauce

Instructions
