Miso & Cider Boneless Pork Ribs Stew
- Serves 2-4
Author Notes
This is a warm and cozy dish, combining white miso and apple cider. I love using white miso in my cooking but usually you'd only need a couple of tablespoons of it and it usually comes in a big tube or bag. That's why I am always thinking of ways to cook with white miso. It is such a versatile ingredient that gives your dishes a subtle sweetness and great flavour! —Charmaine
