Vegan MoFo #14: Pantry Staple - Miso Tahini Magic Sauce


Today's MoFo is something that I've been using like a fiend for three years.  My Miso Tahini Magic Sauce is a staple in our refrigerator.  It's a dip, it's a sauce, it's a dressing.  Put it on veggies, grains, wraps, bowls, salads, anything you want to become more delicious or possibly addicting.  Sometimes I want a salad just so I have something to put this on.  The best part about it, though, is it's EASY and you probably already have the ingredients on hand.

Miso Tahini Magic Sauce


1/2 cup miso
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup, date syrup, or agave
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup water

In a bowl use a spoon  to mix the miso and tahini together.  Add the apple cider vinegar, sweetener of your choice, cayenne pepper and stir until well combined.  Use a whisk to mix in the water.  Store in the refrigerator.  The sauce will thicken after it cools.

This sauce is great with add-in, like fresh grated ginger, garlic, and spices.  Make it your way to make your taste buds happy.  Then put it on everything!  Carry a jar in your purse!  Ok, maybe not, but I wish I could.

Happy Friday!
