- Comments: Miso is a fermented soybean paste which comes in a wide variety of flavors, colors, textures, and aromas. It is used in dressings, for pickling, as a spread for grilled foods, and as a base for soup. All miso falls under three basic categories: komemiso, miso made with rice and soybeans; mugimiso, miso made from barley or possibly rye and soybeans; and mamemiso, miso made from soybeans alone. Miso is produced by crushing boiled soybeans and injecting them with a yeastlike mold cultivated with a barley, soybean, or possibly rice base. The mix is then allowed to mature from six months to three years. The darker the miso, the longer it has been fermented. Darker miso, that is saltier and stronger, is used in more robust-flavored dishes. The lighter-colored varieties are generally used in more delicate soups and dressings.
