Ingredients

• ✓ white miso
• water
• kombu
• bonito flake
• silken tofu
• red miso
• wakame seaweed flakes
• wakame seaweed
• hijiki seaweed
• green onion

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Pour cold water into a saucepan. Add kombu and soak for 30 minutes.
3. 3 Set pan on the stove over medium heat, and wait until water just starts to simmer. Turn off heat, and remove kombu with a strainer. Squeeze out any liquid back into the pan, and discard kombu.
4. 4 Turn heat back on to med-high, and bring to a simmer. Stir bonito flakes into the simmering liquid, and turn off the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, before staining and reserving the liquid, also known as the "dashi."
5. 5 Pour dashi into a saucepan over medium heat. Add pre-soaked, shredded seaweed, soy sauce, and green onions. Bring to a simmer, and reduce heat to low. Place a small strainer over the pan, and add miso pastes. Submerge strainer halfway down into the hot dashi, and stir slowly until all the miso has dissolved and passed through into the soup.
6. 6 Stir in tofu, and continue cooking on low until tofu is heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with more soy sauce if needed.
7. 7 Serve immediately with sliced green onions on top.

Ingredients

• ✓ white miso
• napa cabbage
• rainbow carrot
• kosher salt
• scallion
• chili paste
• garlic
• ginger

Instructions

1. 1 Quarter each head of cabbage; remove and discard the cores. Chop cabbage into 1-inch pieces. Transfer in batches to a large salad spinner. Fill with water, agitate with your hands, drain and spin. Repeat with remaining cabbage.
2. 2 Peel and trim carrots. Cut into 1-inch lengths, then julienne cut.
3. 3 Divide cabbage and carrots evenly between 3 large anti-reactive bowls. Sprinkle 1/3 of the salt over each bowl, then massage with your hands until cabbage is well coated and starting to soften. Fill bowls with cold water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for 2 to 3 hours.
4. 4 Drain cabbage and carrots in a strainer. Reserve 1 to 2 cups brine in a sealed container.
5. 5 Meanwhile, trim scallions. Cut dark green parts into 1-inch lengths and set aside. Cut off white parts (the bottom 3 to 4 inches), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a food processor. Set light green parts aside for another use.
6. 6 Add chili paste, miso, garlic, and ginger to the food processor. Process until fully blended; it will be thick.
7. 7 Transfer cabbage and carrots back to the bowls and add dark green scallions. Spoon 1/3 of the chili paste mixture into each bowl. Use food-safe gloves and massage it all over until vegetables are completely covered.
8. 8 Pack kimchi into six sterilized pint-sized jars. Cover with a 2-piece lid and screw partway to keep lid in place but not to seal.
9. 9 Transfer jars to a rimmed baking dish and let sit at room temperature until bubbly and fragrant, about 72 hours. Every 24 hours, open the jars and slide a clean chopstick or knife down all 4 sides of each jar to release air bubbles. Press veggies down with a spoon so they are submerged in liquid, adding a spoon or two of reserved brine if necessary, but veggies do release a fair amount of liquid. Because the lids are not sealed fully, there may be some overflow. That's okay, just wipe the jars and continue on with the process. It just means the fermentation is very active.
10. 10 After the 72 hours, clean outsides of jars and inner rims as necessary. Seal lids tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• ✓ white miso
• sugar
• sake
• mirin
• butterfish
• white wine vinegar
• white wine
• shallot
• bay leaf
• black peppercorn
• heavy cream
• butter
• lemon
• parsley
• soy sauce
• sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Make marinade: Whisk together miso, sugar, sake, and mirin in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade has reduced, about 45 minutes. Transfer marinade to a shallow dish and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place butterfish in marinade and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Make beurre blanc: Combine vinegar, wine, shallot, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until only about 1 tablespoon liquid remain, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until mixture is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk in butter pieces, one at a time, until beurre blanc is smooth and thickened. Strain beurre blanc through a mesh strainer to remove spices.
3. 3 Make lemon sauce: Stir lemon juice into beurre blanc until lemon sauce is evenly mixed; fold in parsley.
4. 4 Make sweet soy sauce: Combine soy sauce and sugar in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture has reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. 5 Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove butterfish from marinade, discarding unused marinade. Cook butterfish in the hot skillet until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer butterfish to a warm plate; drizzle lemon sauce and sweet soy sauce around fish.
