Directions

1

In a large high sided skillet heat olive oil and butter together over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the miso paste, rice vinegar, and soy sauce and incorporate into the onions.
2

Pour in the rice, stir to coat, and cook for 3 minutes. Start adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time until absorbed and rice is al dente. This took me about 40 minutes.
