If you haven’t tried miso, I hope that after reading my little recipe that you will buy it. It’s a fermented soy bean paste commonly used as a condiment in Japan—but now it’s used everywhere! In addition, miso may even have a favorable influence on health. Miso is unbeatable at giving delicious flavor to a marinade or vinaigrette—and you’re sure to find a thousand more uses! It’s quite tasty and is in itself a satisfying meal.
