Healthy Office Spaces Shopping List – Courtesy of Sheryl Ehlers What is MISO? Courtesy of Holly Wright Miso is a key ingredient in Japanese cooking and forms the base of the staple dish, miso soup. The paste, similar in texture to peanut butter, is typically a cultured mixture of soybeans, a grain (like rice or barley), salt, and koji (a mold). Depending on the variety, miso can be smooth or chunky and is fermented anywhere from a few weeks to several years. Varieties There are more than 1,000 types of miso, ranging in texture, flavor, and color. These factors can be influenced by the ingredients, length of fermentation, and the conditions under which the miso is kept. Miso imported into the United States is typically divided into two main categories: light or white miso and dark or red miso. Some miso is labeled awase, which is a mixture of more than one kind of miso paste. What Is Miso and How Is It Used? (thespruceeats.com)
I often use miso paste to make a soothing morning broth to "break the fast" before eating more solid / hearty food: gently warm some broth of your choice (chicken, veggie, even water but not my fav); scoop a teaspoon of miso out of the container, and put the spoon into the broth and stir around until the miso dissolves into the warm broth (for this application, you don't want to cook the miso, it's "alive", and we want it to stay that way, so just warm it). Sip slowly and feel your belly thank you. This is my favorite brand, it's usually available at most grocery stores in the refrigerated section (often in the area where you find vegan cheeses, etc, but not always).
