MISO VINAIGRETTE IN WHITE JUG WITH MISO AND GINGER ON THE SIDE

What is miso paste?

Miso is a Japanese staple that is incredibly healthy and nutritious. It is made with soy beans a grain (like rice or barley), salt, and koji (a mold) and then it is allowed to ferment anywhere from a few weeks to several years.

There are two different types of miso light coloured miso which is light beige to yellow in colour or dark miso which is red, light brown to almost black in colour.

Light miso is lighter and sweeter in flavour due to shorter fermentation time. It's made with less soybean content and more grains, like white rice. 

Dark miso is fermented for longer for a stronger, and saltier flavour. It is made with a higher proportion of soybeans and salt for an intense complex flavours.

The difference between seasoned and regular rice vinegar?

Rice wine vinegar, is made by fermenting the sugars in rice until it becomes acidic then adding sugar and salt.

Seasoned white rice vinegar is made either from sake or by adding sugar and salt to white rice vinegar , this makes it more flavourful and sweeter but it also means that it contains more calories than regular rice vinegar.

It's an easy way to boost the sweet, salty, and tangy elements of your salads.
