Hints and tips
• Misomite is a miso spread based on Marmite but with miso as its main ingredient. It was created by a Japanese couple in Nelson. Shiso miso can be used as an alternative.
• White soy sauce is brewed with more wheat than regular soy sauce and is lighter in colour and flavour.
• The miso butter can be made ahead of time and will keep in freezer for 2 months. It can be served with many other roasted vegetables and meats.
