Miso 101

Miso seems to be one of those things that so many love, but no one really knows what it is—they just know they love it. And they should, because it’s delicious. But what is it?

We’re glad you asked. Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning typically consisting of thick paste made by fermenting soybeans with salt and kōji, a Japanese fungus. It can also be made from rice, barley, and seaweed. There are several different types of miso, but the most common types you’ll encounter are either red, white, or awasemiso, which translates to “mixed.” Miso has many variations and flavor profiles that result from how long it’s fermented and the ingredients involved in the process. The process can get pretty complicated!

Miso soup is a daily culinary staple in Japan and can contain a range of additional ingredients that range from seaweed and cubes of tofu to potato and shrimp. Plus, miso is not only rich in umami flavor, it’s also rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Feel free to experiment with your own miso-adjacent flavors with this recipe!
