Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Caramel Sauce
  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of water. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved (2-3 minutes).
  2. Increase heat to medium and let boil for 8-10 minutes without stirring until the sugar turns a deep golden brown.
  3. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring carefully to avoid vigorous bubbling. Stir for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of white miso paste until fully incorporated and velvety.
  5. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
