Is there any way not to burn?
Thank you for the comment! First of all, Miso is easy to burn. Miso is an amazing ingredient but when you use miso, you have to check not to burn while cooking.
Things that you can do is :
1. When you mix the ingredients (the sauce) in a bowl, please make sure that you mix everything well. If some solid miso in the sauce, it is most likely easy to burn.
2. Please turn the heat to medium after adding miso to a pan. No high heat.
These are things that you can do!
