Too much miso!
I bought a large package of red miso paste this week for a noodle soup recipe, but I only needed about 1 tablespoon of it. Now, I have a brick-sized package of red miso paste I am trying to find uses for so that it doesn't go to waste. I've already made a great salad dressing but that still only requires a few teaspoons at a time.
Help! What else should I make? Can I freeze it?

I use it for ginger and lime vinaigrette salad dressing and asian marinades.
-miso glazed salmon (haven't made it myself but I've seen it pop up online here and there).
-This miso pasta that I tried and turned out great (https://food52.com/recipes/77676-miso-mushroom-pasta),
-I stir in a little miso in a savory oatmeal I make (a little maple syrup, a little miso, topped with greens of choice, runny yolk egg, sometimes bacon, sometimes a vegetarian protein or avocado - the syrup/miso combo might sound weird but I like it)
-If you want to get creative, miso + sweets seems to be in lately: https://food52.com/recipes/78036-burnt-miso-pound-cake though I haven't personally made this one.
And of course there's always more soup recipes! If none of these appeal to you, creamtea is also right about it hanging out in the fridge for a long time.
