Magic Miso

Miso is a traditional and principal Japanese condiment, which adds instant umami and depth of flavour to your cooking. It is a fermented soybean paste made with rice, barley or other grains, salt, water and a fermentation starter called koji (Aspergillus oryzae). Koji is a mould that is typically grown on steamed rice, beans or other grains. It is an important ingredient in the production of soy sauce and Japanese alcoholic beverages, such as sake and shochu.
