    1. Hi,

      I.made this for the first time, is delicious. One question though…is the garlic suppose to be soft or still with a crunch?

      Thanks a lot.

  4. Another great recipe! I forgot to buy miso (I used it up making your misozuke recipe 😁) but it was delicious even without!. I ate it with brown basmati rice and steamed asparagus. Next time I will double the recipe – it should keep well in the fridge and it’ll be a great addition to other meals.
