Miso (みそ or 味噌) is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or soybeans, with salt and the fungus kōjikin (麹菌), the most typical miso being made with soy. The result is a thick paste used for sauces and spreads, pickling vegetables or meats, and mixing with dashi soup stock to serve as miso soup called misoshiru (味噌汁), a Japanese culinary staple. High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, miso played an important nutritional role in feudal Japan. Miso is still very widely used in Japan, both in traditional and modern cooking, and has been gaining world-wide interest. Miso is typically salty, but its flavor and aroma depend on various factors in the ingredients and fermentation process. Different varieties of miso have been described as salty, sweet, earthy, fruity, and savory, and there is a very wide variety of miso available. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Miso" MISO SOUP? Does anyone know how they make it in the restaurants? Q. I have bought the miso paste from the Japanese grocer but it still tastes the best from the take out place? What are the ingredients for awesome miso soup? Asked by daisyduck4007 - Sun Nov 25 18:27:39 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Not quite Mrs Strange??, I am a former chef and worked in japan and have worked in hotels were we have sushi and Japanese Teppan places. It is made from a base stock known as dashi, that can be found in powder form from Japanese and Asian stores or a bit of chicken broth with soya sauce is fine, for miso soup you must heat everrything first as miso cannot be boiled, you have to add the miso paste in a strainer to keep lumps from forming. Then put it in bowls and add some green onions for garnish, I like to use the white miso and sometimes the red, just make sure to leave the seasoning until the end, as miso can be salty so make sure it is not boiled and then make adjustments at the end.

Q. I'm making a recipe for dinner that calls for miso, but I don't have any, and I really don't feel like going out and buying some. Is there any (relatively common) ingredient that I could use instead that would give a similar taste? Asked by euphoricmartyr - Thu Dec 18 17:02:23 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no substitute for the pure flavor of miso. If you just need a small amount for a recipe try substituting sesame paste or tahini.
