From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Miso is a thick paste. It is similar to the Korean doenjang. It is made by fermenting soy beans with sea salt and kōji. Kōji is the product of fermenting rice, barley, or soybeans with a mold culture, kōji-kin (Aspergillus oryzae (麹Aspergillus oryzae).[1] 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. Miso is sometimes used in miso soup.
