To avoid home meal boredom, I like to dedicate one night a week to Asian cooking. Because I like to keep my family enthusiastic about home-cooked meals, I experiment with a variety of flavors, ingredients and spices. One of my favorites is miso paste. Because miso has such a unique flavor, it's a perfect addition to any broth, sauce or Asian stew. This simple recipe is an example of how miso can elevate the much-dreaded broccoli to a coveted side dish in just under 20 minutes.
