Spicy Shoyu-Miso Tare

Be the first to rate & review!

Tare (pronounced TAH-REH) is the concentrated flavor base for ramen. In addition to adding saltiness, this version adds a touch of sweetness from the mirin, umami from the miso and spiciness from the Sriracha. Add the tare to the bottom of your bowl, then stir in hot broth.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
