This is a really simple vegetable dish that I ripped off of David Chang. Well, I borrowed his miso butter recipe at least. Fermented products like miso and soy sauce are great in vegetarian dishes because they give a hit of that savory umami taste that you can't get from veggies alone. Fermented foods also supply a vegetarian diet with vitamins, enzymes and good bacteria needed for optimal health.
The butter was made by whipping together "shiro" or white miso with organic unsalted butter until it was smooth and homogenous. The miso butter can be kept chilled for months so making a big batch is a good idea.
The mirin honey was made by simply combining the mirin and the honey together. This can also be stored for a very long time.
The broccoli was simply steamed til bright green and slightly tender. I did not season it because the butter is so rich and salty. I finished the plate with some crushed peanuts for texture.
