More
about miso......
Miso is a thick paste made by fermenting soybeans with sea
salt and koji, itself the product of fermenting rice, barley
or soybeans with a mould culture. Often, grains such as
barley or rice, and sometimes other ingredients, are added.
Miso tastes salty and, depending on the grains used and
fermentation time, may also be sweet.
In Japan, miso is used in miso shiru (white miso soup),
which is eaten daily by much of the population. Most cooks
recommend never cooking miso for more than a few minutes,
and not above a simmer, to avoid decreasing the nutritional
value of miso. Some people, especially outside of Japan,
go so far as to only add miso to preparations after they
have cooled.
Since miso and soy foods play a large role in the Japanese
diet, there are a variety of cooked miso dishes as well.
Fish may also be marinated in miso and sake overnight to
be grilled.The standard Japanese way of eating corn on the
cob is to coat the ear with shiro miso, wrap it in foil
and grill it.
