Treat your ingredients with care...

• Miso paste — Use a high-quality miso paste for the best flavor. Adjust the amount according to your preference for saltiness.
• Pork sausages — Look for sausages with a high meat content and minimal fillers for the best taste and texture.
• Sesame oil — Toasted sesame oil adds a rich nutty flavor, but regular sesame oil can be used as well.
• Rice vinegar — If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
• Spring onions — Slice the spring onions thinly for a delicate garnish.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the miso glaze.
• Serve the sausages with steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables for a complete Japanese meal.
• If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the amount of honey in the miso glaze.
• Experiment with different types of miso paste to vary the flavor profile of the dish.
• Leftover sausages can be sliced and used in stir-fries or added to fried rice for a quick and flavorful meal.
