Walnut Miso Paste

Directions

1. 1
   Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet, stirring and watching carefully to make sure they do not burn. Burning makes them bitter.
2. 2
   Turn the walnuts into a paper towel and rub most of the skins off.
3. 3
   Transfer the skinned and toasted walnuts into a food processor and process until as fine as you wish.
4. 4
   Combine with the mirin, miso and sugar, stirring together well.
5. 5
   Add desired amount to steamed veggies - a little goes far, you can always add more.
6. 6
   Refrigerate remainder for up to a week or freeze.
