Miso, a soy paste from Japan, acts like a taste accelerator – and also provides the unexpected extra with fish.

If you are looking for a special kick when eating, you should try miso. These are fermented soybeans, also called the Maggi of Asia. In Japan, they slurp miso mixed with hot water as a soup. Some time ago I introduced you to a recipe for miso spaghetti. The paste adds that certain something to many dishes. They come in red, white and brown, made from soybeans, rice and barley, even sweet. Translated, miso means “source of taste” – how fitting.
