What is miso paste?
Miso paste is a Japanese condiment that is made from fermented soybeans and rice.
There are many kinds of miso paste, but the 3 popular ones you’ll see the most are: white miso, red miso, and yellow miso.
I’ve used white miso (Shiro) in this
Red miso (Akamiso) paste has fermented the longest and is saltier, more pungent, and boldly flavored.
Yellow miso (Saikyo) paste is versatile and could be used in this recipe in place of white miso. It’s very mild in flavor.
You can find miso in most major grocery stores in the international foods aisle.
Different vegetables
I’ve chosen carrots and snow peas, but here are a few other great veggie ideas to swap out instead:
- Zucchini
- Green beans
- Bell peppers
- Sweet potatoes
