In a large high sided skillet heat olive oil and butter together over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the miso paste, rice vinegar, and soy sauce and incorporate into the onions.

Ask a question about this stepThank you Linzarella! I always thought of sesame oil as a finishing oil but go for it! I'd love to hear how yours comes out if you get around to making it.
I like that you're using white miso paste here. It reminds me so much of Parmigiano!
Thanks Mrs. Larkin! My white miso paste has been neglected until now. It's amazing that two ingredients that couldn't be further from each other (other than both being aged) could be so similar!

This sounds amazing! I wonder how it would come out if I substituted sesame oil for the olive oil...
