![✨ Here’s my secret to eating fermented foods every day.
The 5-Minute Fermented Marinade I Always Keep in My Fridge 🤩
Want an easier way to enjoy fermented foods every day without spending hours in the kitchen?
This homemade Miso Kasu-doko (Miso & Sake Lees Marinade) has been one of my favorite Japanese meal prep staples for years. I simply make one batch, marinate fish or meat for 24–48 hours, then cook it or freeze everything until I’m ready to cook.
It’s incredibly convenient, delicious, and makes healthy eating so much easier.
The best part? This marinade combines THREE traditional Japanese fermented foods—miso, sake lees (sake kasu) and Mirin. During marination, natural enzymes begin breaking down proteins into amino acids, making meat and fish more tender, more flavorful, and easier to digest.
Not only does it create incredible umami, but it’s also a simple way to support gut health while enjoying authentic Japanese home cooking.
What would you marinate first—salmon, chicken, black cod, or pork? Let me know below! 👇
Ingredients: [makes about 280ml]
• ½ cup sake lees (sake kasu)
• ½ cup miso
• 40 ml hon mirin
Good to Know:
☑ Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
☑ Coat each piece of meat or fish with about 1½–2 tablespoons of the marinade.
☑ Marinate for 24–48 hours.
☑ Freeze for meal prep or cook immediately by steaming, grilling, or adding to soups and hot pots.
✨ Save this recipe for your next meal prep!
