Miso-Braised Beef with King Mushrooms
Credit: Chef John

Miso is a fermented paste made with soybeans and rice or barley that's known for its umami flavor, the so-called fifth taste. Besides being a mighty flavor agent in Japanese cuisine, miso paste is also a nutritional powerhouse of probiotics and antioxidants. That's a lot of goodness concentrated in one little dollop of miso. Fermented soybean paste has been a staple of Japanese cuisine dating back to 14,000 B.C., but it's enjoying a resurgence of popularity as adventurous cooks come up with new ways to use it. Give these miso paste recipes a try and see what a concentrated hit of nutty, sweet, salty, umami flavor does to all kinds of food.

What is white miso paste? What is yellow miso paste? The difference between white miso paste and yellow or red miso paste is the grain that is fermented along with the soybeans. White miso paste is fermented with rice. Yellow miso paste and red miso paste are fermented with barley and sometimes a small amount of rice. White miso is lighter in both color and taste.
