What is Miso Paste?

Miso paste is made from fermented soybeans. Depending on which Miso paste you purchase, it is usually mixed with other ingredients. Commonly salt and koki, which is the same ingredient in sake.

The miso paste ferments for years until the intense flavor is reached. Miso tastes a lot like a salty paste. But the flavor will change based on what paste you purchase.

They are mostly found in any American Grocery store in the ethnic aisle. If you can not find them, you can also check on Amazon.
