WHAT KIND OF MISO PASTE SHOULD I USE?

Both white and red miso paste will work for this recipe. You can get Miso Paste on Amazon or at your local Asian grocery store. I like using white miso paste because it has a milder flavor profile with a hint of sweetness. Red miso paste is made with higher proportions of soybean, creating a deeper and stronger umami flavors.

Garlic
Unsalted butter
Onion
Mushroom
Heavy Cream
Miso Paste, I recommend using white miso paste as it is milder and works well with the creamy sauce

Black Pepper
Furikake or sesame seeds for garnish
