Miso is a savory fermented soybean paste commonly used in Japanese cuisine.
In pasta recipes, miso is used both as a seasoning and as one of the ingredients of the dish.
Miso can be used as a dip or marinade, or it can be added to soup to give it a distinctive flavor and aroma.
Miso comes in many varieties and differs in color and taste. The taste of pasta can be salty, sweet, fruity or even earthy.
White miso paste has the lightest flavor.
Light miso varieties (white, yellow, or beige miso) are not as salty, rather sweet, and not as rich. Light miso contains a lot of lactic acid.
Dark miso has a saltier, more intense flavor and is high in protein.
The composition of miso paste contains a large amount of B vitamins, as well as E, K and folic acid.
The use of a source of probiotics improves digestion, improves the processing of fiber and other incoming food.
Miso paste is often sautéed with onions and spices and used as a salad dressing or in sashimi, sami, onigiri and rolls, as well as simply eaten with fresh cucumber, radish, green onions.
Miso paste dissolved in hot water can always replace tea or coffee.
