Chicken and Chinese Broccoli Miso Stir-Fry

Submitted by MC Baker

"This was a healthy throw together meal, which resulted from me wanting to use up some miso I haven't been able to use quickly enough. This is a easy fast recipe, and some of the prep work like chicken and broccoli chopping can be done while cooking."

This is totally delicious!! The red miso and soy sauce (in combination with the other ingredients) give it a rich, complex flavor that is truly amazing! I made the recipe as written--but used reduced sodium soy sauce, lower sodium red miso (Kyoto Red Miso), and left out the salt--and all of that worked well. The most challenging part of making this stir-fry was finding the red miso (after a bit of a hunt, I found some in the dairy section of the Whole Foods Market); it was definitely worth the effort! I look forward to making this again! Thanks for a great recipe, MC Baker!!

This was a GREAT recipe! My husband thought I bought it from a resturaunt. HAHA! I substituted miso for 1 and half teaspoon of ground ginger and extra soy. I omitted the sweet onion all together and added extra green onions.. using 5 in all. I also put a beef bullion cube in my half cup of hot water it dissolved about halfway. I threw out the half bullion cube that didn't dissolve and used the partial bullion water for the recipe. It was really good I plan on using it OFTEN!
