Japanese Miso Scrambled Eggs

4.07 Average Rating

Silky, umami-rich and slightly sweet, miso scrambled eggs are a refined twist on a brunch classic. The white miso paste blends into the eggs for depth of flavour (like salt, but more complex), while a touch of sugar or mirin helps give a glossy, custardy finish. Serve on steamed rice or buttered toast, perhaps with nori or sesame seeds, and you’ve got a comforting, Japanese-inspired scramble.
