Introduction
An exquisite meat sauce pasta that achieves deep, rich flavors using koji miso and butter instead of canned tomatoes. By drawing out excess moisture and removing the gamey odor from the ground beef with sugar before slow-stir-frying, the natural umami of the beef and the aroma of the miso are perfectly highlighted.
Step 1
Sprinkle sugar (slightly less than 1 tsp) on one side of the ground beef, place on a paper towel, flip, and sprinkle sugar (slightly less than 1 tsp) on the other side. Wrap in a paper towel, place a weight on top, and let sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 2
Crush the garlic with the side of a knife and chop roughly.
Step 3
Add olive oil (1 tbsp) and garlic to a frying pan and sauté over heat.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt (1.5% concentration), and start boiling the 1.7mm pasta for 1 minute less than the package time.
Step 5
Add Ajinomoto (1/2 tsp) to the frying pan with the garlic. Place the koji miso (slightly more than 1 tbsp) on top of the drained ground beef and add to the pan, stirring slowly over low heat.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Sprinkling sugar on ground beef and using a weight utilizes osmotic pressure to remove excess moisture, eliminating gamey odors and concentrating the meat's umami. 💡
When stir-frying the miso and ground beef, cook slowly over low heat to prevent burning and to enhance the savory aroma. 🔥
Since the pasta will finish cooking while tossed with the sauce, boil it for 1 minute less than the package instructions. ⚠️
