When I was brainstorming recipes for the new year, I had a few things I wanted to keep in mind. I wanted all of the recipes to be colorful. So, either full of vegetables or tossed in yummy sauces and finished with fresh herbs. I also want to focus on more protein-rich meals this year. And then, of course, I want all of my recipes to be as easy as possible – easy, fun, yet still delicious.
Stir fry dinners have always been on rotation over here. They check off all the above boxes, and they always turn out so delicious.
So for this stir fry, I wanted my sauce to include miso and ginger. Over the holidays, I made my recipe for miso chicken Katsu ramen. I’m in love with the combination of miso, ginger, and sesame when creating Asian sauces. It’s so delicious! I think I made that miso ramen three times over Christmas break, it’s one of my brothers favorite recipes.
Since everyone is still here in Colorado this week, I wanted to create something with a similar flavor profile but a different type of dinner.
This was perfect for everyone!
Here are the details
Step 1: make the sauce
This is simple: whisk everything up in a tall glass measuring cup and the sauce is done.
I love to use tamari, which is gluten-free soy sauce. I also like to use bone broth, but any chicken, vegetable, or beef broth will do the trick. Whisk together the tamari, broth, white miso paste, a tiny amount of honey, red curry paste, ginger juice, and toasted sesame oil.
Now, whisk in the flour (you can also use cornstarch) to help thicken the sauce around the beef.
Step 2: cook the beef and broccoli
Next, start cooking the beef in a big skillet, or if you have one, use a wok. Then add the broccoli, lots of shallots, plenty of ginger, and some garlic. Cook until everything is seared and things are smelling yummy.
Just watch the ginger and garlic, you don’t want them to burn.
Step 3: add the sauce
When things are looking good in the skillet, pour over the sauce. Then simmer, tossing everything up in the sauce until it thickens and coats both the beef and broccoli.
This will take around 5 minutes. Not too long at all.
Step 4: serve
At this point, you can serve the beef and broccoli in the sauce over bowls of rice (I like using jasmine). Lately, I’ve been making my jasmine rice with bone broth. It’s really delicious and also high in protein.
Finish each bowl topped with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Perfect for our busiest nights this year.
Hoping you guys love this one as much as we do. I’m already excited to make it again later this week!

Flavor profile was good. Especially liked with the pickled ginger on top. Could not find white or yellow miso and went to 3 different stores. This is frustrating. So I skipped that part. Sauce was very liquidy, but you need that to cook the veggies.
Thank you for this feedback Lea! xT
This was delicious!
Thank you so so much Paulette! xT
This turned out very salty and runny.
That’s exactly how I would describe mine too. This was not great.
I didn’t have pickled ginger so I used two tablespoons of seasoned (i.e. sweetened) rice vinegar. It was good!
Thanks for this tip Tara! Super helpful 🙂 xT
Hi Tieghan! Can you recommend what I might substitute for the white miso paste? I’m gluten, soy and dairy free. Thanks!
Hi Kiki! You could definitely use yellow miso paste! xT
Yellow miso is made of soy beans.
So good! So easy, not super difficult to get the ingredients! Not too spicy either (my spice sensitive son devoured it) so that’s a win in our household.
Thank you so much Kass! I really appreciate it! xT
Made this last night and wow was it spicy! Maybe you meant 2-3 teaspoons of Thai Red Curry Paste instead of tablespoons or maybe the brand of Thai Red Curry Paste I had was just that much hotter. Very nice flavors but required 3 full glasses of water with dinner last night – and I like spicy!
Hi there! Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it! xT
You call this easy, but I am trying to shop the miso, tamari and ginger juice none of which I can find locally. So not so easy. I find this with a lot of your recipes, you use less than common ingredients and you see it in a bunch of comments people can’t find these things or if they do they are expensive and only have the one use. Also, there is no star anise in this recipe WHY is it in every photo???
My husband just declared that this dish was as good as any he’s had in any Asian restaurant. That’s high praise!
Hi there! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the recipe! Thanks for giving it a try! xT
I can’t find white miso paste at my grocery store – any recs for a replacement? Would love to try this tonight.
I ordered some on Amazon a few months ago and it arrived quickly. I purchased for a miso glazed cabbage recipe that was delicious, so it would not likely be a one-recipe purchase. I have found a few others that call for miso paste and plan to make those in the future as well. It is a wonderful ingredient.
Hi Rebecca! You could use yellow miso paste! xT
Do you have any tips on cooking jasmine rice? Lately, I have found my usual method is not working and the rice is either under or overcooked.
Hi! I have my rice recipe here! xT
https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/essentials/
looks great! I have all the ingredients on hand except for the steak – how do you think ground beef would work with this recipe?
I would not think that a ground meat would be a good substitute in this recipe though this is just my opinion. Perhaps try another meat like pork or lamb.
WOW Linda, who put you in charge? Maybe let Tieghan, the one who actually created this recipe, respond to these questions and don’t be so dismissive?
Love the recipes, Tieghan, keep them coming!!

Ignore the haters, Tieghan!!
Hi Chloe! I haven’t ever tried that before but I think that would be yummy! xT
Can’t wait to make this! My family doesn’t like the taste of curry. What could I replace that with? Gochugang?
Thank you!
Hi Wrenn! Yes, you could sub with gochujang! xT
Plan to try it this week! Is there another type of steak that works well for a stir fry besides flank? Ribeye?
Hi Barb! You could use skirt or sirloin steak! xT
Is there something I can substitute for the pickled ginger juice?
Hi there! I would maybe just add a little extra ginger to the recipe and maybe a sprinkle of rice vinegar or white wine vinegar! Hope this helps! xT
This looks delicious!!!! Love the 20 minute / simpler recipes that still include a protein. Excited to make this, might even try it in the slow cooker for extra tender steak.
Thank you sooo much for trying out this recipe! Hope your New Year is off to an awesome start! xT
