Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2           cups raw cashews -- or roasted unsalted
     3/4           cup water
2        Tablespoons miso paste
1         Tablespoon soy sauce -- or to taste
1         Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1                     garlic clove
2          teaspoons mirin -- optional

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or strong blender and
process until smooth.
If you are using a blender, you may need to add more water to get the
smooth consistency. Adjust the soy sauce levels accordingly.

Makes approximately 2 cups

VARIATIONS:
For a Miso Tahini Spread: replace the cashews with 1 cup of tahini paste.
Instead of using the food processor, you can combine all of the
ingredients in a bowl and whisk well.
AuthorNotes: This is an incredibly simple spread to whip up. Use it in
your Nori Rolls (page 157), or as a dip for raw veggies like cucumber
slices, celery, and carrot sticks. Try it also on rice cakes with sliced
avocado and tomato. Experiment with different types of miso paste (see
page 134) to experience how it changes the flavor of the dish.
