ASIAN HOME GOURMET MISO SOUP MIX
Each region of Japan has its own type of miso according to the area's climate and eating customs. The three main types of Miso soup can be best identified by their difference in colour. Shiromiso is a white miso made from rice native to Kyoto, hatchomiso , a sweet soybean miso particular to Aichi Prefecture, and Shinshu, the most widely eaten miso, is a salty, red-coloured paste, produced chiefly in Nagano Prefecture.
Miso Soup is not only deliciously tasty, but it also contains various health benefits. As they say in Japan, a bowl of miso a day keeps the doctor away! Vitamin E, daisein, saponin and the brown pigment contained in miso act as anti-oxidants. Miso is also a source of dietary fibre, which cleans your intestines and is good for your bowel and this is just to name a few!
Miso soup is quick and easy to cook with Asian Home Gourmet's Japanese miso spice paste sachet. Here are some secrets behind the simplicity, just as with cooking other Japanese dishes:
