Before you finish off that bottle of kombucha in your fridge, hear me out: The tangy fermented tea is good for more than just sipping. It’s high time to use your kombucha as the base of an easy weeknight sauce, ready to be tossed with salad greens, drizzled over a roasted sweet potato, or used to perk up frozen veggies. Plus, you only need three ingredients to make it: a fruity kombucha, miso paste, and whatever jar of jam is hanging out in your fridge door.
A Flavor-Packed Sauce That Takes 1 Minute to Make
Kombucha, miso, and jam might sound like a strange trio, but it’s really just a new take on the classic sweet-and-sour flavor combination. The kombucha adds acidity and flavor, just like a good vinegar does, while the jam and miso bring sweetness and texture.
The colorful sauce requires zero blending and zero cooking. To make it, you’ll want to whisk the jam and the miso with just about half of the kombucha before drizzling in the rest. This helps prevent lumps, so don’t skip this step.
