Top 5 dishes made from Dark Colour Miso
1 . Mabo Potatoes
Mabo Potatoes
‘Mabo Dōfu’ (Mapo Tofu) is one of the foods that I sometimes crave for. The other day, when I wanted to cook it, I didn’t have Tofu. I sometimes cook the same dish using Eggplant OR Harusame Noodles, but I didn’t have them either. Then an idea came to me. How about Potato?
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Oil
250-300 g
Pork Mince
1 clove
Garlic *finely chopped
1 tablespoon
Dark Colour Miso
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Sugar
2-3 teaspoons
Toban Djan (Chili Bean Sauce)
2 tablespoons
Sake (Rice Wine)
1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon
Potato Starch
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Peel Potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces, cook in the salted Water until soft, then drain.
* Step 2
Place all the Sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. This has to be done before you start cooking Pork Mince.
* Step 3
Heat Oil in a large frying pan or a wok, cook Pork Mince, Garlic, Ginger and Spring Onions, breaking up the mince.
* Step 4
Before you add the sauce to the pan, mix it well again. Then pour in the sauce and bring it to the boil and let it thicken.

Vegan Mabo Dōfu
Dry soy meat products are available from many Asian grocery stores and they are quite cheap.

5 . Mabo Eggplant
Mabo Eggplant
My Japanese style Mabo Dofu (Tofu) recipe is quite versatile and you can replace Tofu with vegetables such as eggplant. All eggplant lovers should try this dish! It is very easy to cook but you need patience to precook eggplant pieces until they are tender. If you are OK with the oil intake, you can deep fry the eggplant pieces. But I prefer cooking them in a frying pan, though I still need generous amount of oil.
Ingredient
250-300 g
Pork Mince
1 clove
Garlic *finely chopped
1 tablespoon
Dark Colour Miso
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Toban Djan (Chili Bean Sauce)
2 tablespoons
Sake
1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon
Potato Starch
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut off the green bit of Eggplants and cut in half or quarter lengthways, then cut diagonally into small pieces OR cut into 1.5 to 2cm thick pieces.
* Step 2
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of Oil in a frying pan and cook Eggplant pieces until tender. Repeat the process until all Eggplant pieces are cooked.
* Step 3
Place all the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well.
* Step 4
Heat a frying pan or a wok, cook Pork Mince breaking up, add Garlic, Ginger and Spring Onions.
* Step 5
Mix the sauce mixture again, then pour it in and bring to a boil and let it thicken.
* Step 6
Add pre-cooked Eggplant and gently mix and combine.
* Step 7
Serve with freshly cooked rice.
