    Miso Butter Chicken

    June 7, 2023 by Marc Matsumoto 4 Comments

    Easy weeknight miso butter chicken stir-fry with cabbage and garlic chives.

    I've done a miso butter salmon recipe before that involves steaming the fish over a bed of vegetables, but miso butter is such a versatile condiment I use it to season stir-fries as well! This easy meal is loaded with cabbage and garlic chives because that's what was in my fridge, but you can substitute almost any member of the allium family, along with a medley of your favorite vegetables. 
    By pan-frying the skin side of the chicken before adding the vegetables, you can render out some flavorful fat that you can use to stir-fry the veggies. I used boneless skin-on chicken thighs today, but this will work with almost any protein, including shrimp, pork, or even tofu. Just keep in mind that if you use a leaner piece of meat, you will need to add some oil to the pan at the beginning before adding your protein of choice.

      Curious what kind of cabbage you're using in your original recipe? It looks lighter than the regular "green cabbage" you can buy in the US. Is it closer to like a bok choy or a chard?

        Hi Katherine, this is regular cabbage (like the ones in the US), but the color looks darker than usual because 1) this is is cabbage harvested in spring 2) I used the outer leaves (most cabbage at stores in the US has all the outer leaves removed). That being said, this can be made with pretty much any kind of vegetable (including bok choy and chard). If you use a high-moisture content veggie like bok choy, Make sure you either blanche it first in boiling water (and squeeze it) or stir-fry it long enough to release and burn off the excess water or the sauce will get watery.

    I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
