Notes
To enhance the flavor. Cook the grits in vegetable broth instead of water, stir in some garlic powder, a few drops of liquid smoke and even top the grits with a handful of sliced green onions. Green onions will also add a pop of color. For creamy grits. Use non-dairy milk like oat milk, almond milk or even full fat coconut milk instead of water. Or if you want to add a good source of protein, soy milk is the best option. To thin out the grits. Add a splash of water or milk to thin out the grits if they have thickened after sitting. Stir frequently. Be sure to stir your grits as your adding and during cooking to prevent lumps.Taste before adding salt. The miso will add some saltiness to the dish so it's best to taste before adding more salt.
