That's an interesting cross-cultural way to jazz up the dish with a
umami punch. In a similar vein I have been adding soy sauce, fish
sauce and fermented shrimp paste to a number of western dishes
lately.

Here's an other fusion dish using miso ...

      Title: Meatball and Spinach Soup
 Categories: Soups, Turkey, Groundmeat, Chilies
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      5 c  Cold water
      1 tb Fresh or instant low-sodium
           Miso
  1 1/2 lb Fresh spinach, washed and
           Coarsely chopped
           MEATBALLS:
      4 oz Lean ground turkey
      1 tb Minced fresh ginger
      1 tb Minced fresh garlic
      2    Green onions,  minced
      2 ts Cornstarch
      1    Egg white
    1/2 ts Chopped sesame seeds
    1/8 ts Chili pepper flakes
 
  You may substitute lean ground beef or pork for the ground turkey in
  this soup.
  
  Bring the water and miso to a boil in a large pot. (If using fresh
  miso, dilute in a little water before adding to the pot). While
  waiting for the water to boil, prepare the meatballs.  In a large
  bowl, thoroughly mix together all of the meatball ingredients. Form
  the mixture into small meatballs. When the water comes to a boil, add
  the meatballs, one at a time. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8
  minutes. Add the spinach and bring to a boil. Cook for 4 minutes.
  Serve hot.
