GRILLED POTATOES WITH RED MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Bring potatoes, salt, and 1 quart water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 12-14 minutes; drain. Grill potatoes, turning often with tongs, until lightly charred, 6-8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, on grill. Place butter and miso in skillet and cook, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in garlic and vinegar. Season with pepper.
• Transfer potatoes to skillet, breaking some in half with tongs. Toss to coat in miso butter. Add parsley; toss again.

EGG-AND-MISO BREAKFAST SOUP

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a saucepan. Whisk in miso until it dissolves completely (do not let it boil). Gently crack egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering broth. Cook until the white is just set and the yolk is still runny, about 2 minutes.
• Add spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with scallions and season with salt and pepper.
