There’s no cooking required to make this rich, flavorful Miso Gravy. It comes together in the blender in under 5 minutes!

You are going to love this super easy miso gravy! It’s rich and savory, perfect over a roast or mashed potatoes, and it truly only takes minutes to make in the blender. No simmering or whisking needed!

5-Minute Miso Gravy

The thing about miso is that it’s a probiotic food. That means you don’t want to heat it up more than you have to. Heating it too much kills the beneficial bacteria that makes it healthy. 

That’s not a problem with this gravy recipe. You make the whole thing in the blender, no cooking needed at all.

This recipe only has one real variable: the nutritional yeast. Nooch is a great thickener, so if you like a thicker gravy, you can add more by the tablespoon until you achieve the consistency you’re going for.

I found 1/2 cup of nooch to be the sweet spot for my own tastes, but feel free to add a bit more or even start with a bit less, depending on your thickness preferences.

To make the gravy, just put the miso, water, a little olive oil, shallot, and garlic into your blender, and puree until smooth.

See if it’s at a thickness that works for you, then add more nutritional yeast to thicken or water to thin. If you overdo it on the water and things start to taste a bit diluted, add miso, a teaspoon at a time, to bump the flavor back up.

Honestly, I don’t think that such a simple recipe needs more of an introduction, do you? Dust off your blender, and let’s just make some miso gravy!

No-Cook Miso Gravy

Y'all, this miso gravy could not be simpler to make, and it's freaking delicious.

    This gravy is insanely good…..my only problem is that I am going through a ton of miso. Is there a way to extend the recipe somehow, for more servings per recipe. I love it. It is so good . Thank you for this recipe.

      Hmm I’m not sure! The miso is so key to this recipe. You might try adding cloves of roasted garlic to bulk it out, but I can’t guarantee that it will be the same, since I haven’t tested it that way. You may need to add salt to taste, if you do that, since miso is so salty. If you try it, let me know!
