- ½ tbsp red miso paste (or brown, which is the same)
- 1 tsp mirin
Whenever you add 1 tbsp for red or brown miso, add 1 tsp of mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine) or 1 tsp of white sugar.
You can also add less red miso and just change the amount. Add 1/2 tbsp of miso for every tbsp of white miso instead.
