Asian Greens with Sesame Oil and Miso

Skip to the recipe
Miso is a paste made from fermented soybeans. It adds the savory umami note to this stir-fried side dish. This preparation will work with any dark, leafy greens, so don’t worry if Asian vegetables aren’t readily available. The tamari and miso are both quite salty, so don’t add any salt while you’re cooking.
