I’m surprised you can make Tsukemono! Many Japanese can’t make them!
This was great. I added a tiny bit of sesame oil and light soy sauce to the wok, and also to the Miso sauce. My husband loved it too. Thanks for the great site.
Hi Dusty,
Glad that you and your husband enjoyed this dish! It’s a nice combo, carrots and miso; the addition of sesame oil and shoyu sounds very nice. Thank you for letting me know.
