Simple Appetizers – Mushroom Spinach in Miso Sauce
Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning created by blending grains (rice, barely) and/or soybeans with a fungus called ‘kōjiki’.
This results in a thick paste which can be used for sauces and spreads, pickling vegetables and as a soup.
The paste is available in a variety of flavours – salty, sweet, earthy, fruity, and savoury.
High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals miso plays a key nutritional role in Japanese cooking. And in recent years has gained much world-wide interest too.
