'Asazuke' means 'lightly pickled' or 'mildly pickled', and it is a process used often in Japanese cuisine to add a boost of sweet, savoury, or sour flavour to fresh vegetables. In this recipe, the vegetables are left to sit in liquid miso, thereby giving them a touch of mellow nuttiness and a hint of extra umami from the added dashi stock.
