How about trying Garlic Miso, which combines the savory aroma of garlic with the rich umami of miso? It's a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways—not only as a topping for rice but also as a dip for fresh vegetables or as a seasoning to add depth to your dishes.
Add the garlic and oil to a pan and cook over low heat until fragrant.
Add sake, sugar, and miso to the pan, stirring until the miso dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from burning, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a storage container. You can enjoy it right away, but it will taste even better if you let it sit for a while.
Notes
The condiment will keep in a clean container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
