Recipe noteThere are a lot of different kinds of miso but basically it is a traditional Japanese seasoning paste produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or soybeans. Sweet, salty miso marinades are common in Japanese cooking. Miso is also used in sauces, spreads, soup etc.
Miso keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 6 months and you can also keep it in the freezer as the paste will stay soft.
