Miso Hollandaise Sauce

 Miso Hollandaise Sauce


Miso Hollandaise Sauce is a delicious fusion of traditional French hollandaise and the umami-packed flavors of miso. This variation adds a savory depth to the classic sauce, making it a great accompaniment for eggs, seafood, grilled vegetables, or even drizzled over steamed greens. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste (you can use red miso for a stronger flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for a touch of tang)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and kept warm
  • 1 tablespoon warm water (if needed, to adjust consistency)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare a Double Boiler:

    • Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water. You can also use a heatproof glass or metal bowl directly over a saucepan with a small amount of water.
  2. Whisk the Egg Yolks:

    • In the heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, miso paste, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard (if using). Continue to whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Temper the Egg Mixture:

    • Place the bowl over the simmering water (the water should be gently simmering, not boiling). Whisk the egg mixture constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  4. Slowly Add the Butter:

    • While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the warm melted butter a little at a time. Be patient and make sure the butter is fully incorporated before adding more. This will help the sauce emulsify and become smooth and creamy.
  5. Adjust the Consistency:

    • If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a small amount of warm water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency. Continue whisking until smooth and creamy.
  6. Season and Serve:

    • Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. You can add more lemon juice or miso paste to adjust the flavor as desired.
  7. Serve:

    • Serve the miso hollandaise sauce immediately over poached eggs (for Eggs Benedict), grilled seafood, roasted vegetables, or asparagus.

This Miso Hollandaise Sauce brings an exciting, savory twist to traditional hollandaise. The miso adds a rich umami flavor that complements the buttery texture of the sauce, making it perfect for a wide range of dishes! Enjoy!
