Notes
Tips & Substitutions:
- I like to use rice vinegar, but you could also use lime juice as a substitute for the tangy flavor.
- You can mince up your own garlic but, for sauces, I love to use the garlic from a jar because it has the perfect size, flavor, and texture. I like to add just a tad of the juice as well.
- Let’s talk about the maple syrup ingredient. To me, it makes all the difference in taste. The amount used can be reduced, but I highly recommend using the full 1 tablespoon and maybe even a tiny bit more.
- Tamari or even amino acids can be used as subs for the soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free. For those concerned about the salt in miso, this short 3-minute video Is Miso Healthy from Dr. Michael Greger with Nutritionfacts.org should help relieve concerns.
