Miso magic
DEMYSTIFYING MISO
Miso paste is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting soybeans with salt, koji (a fermenting agent) and sometimes rice, barley, seaweed or other ingredients.
Miso paste is a living fermented product that’s good for gut health.
It also contains naturally occurring glutamates, which gives it a very moreish savoury taste. It also provides an instant flavour hit to dishes and adds the fifth taste, umami.
The most readily available miso are white (shiro) miso and red (aka) miso, which are the two varieties we have used in our recipes. White miso is the sweetest and mildest in taste.
Miso paste is available from most major supermarkets and Asian food stores. It can be kept, airtight, for up to a year in the fridge.
