Brown Miso

Store brown miso in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and flavor. It can last for a very long time, but its flavor will deepen and change over time.

Stir miso paste into warm (not boiling) water or broth when making soup to preserve its flavor and beneficial enzymes.

Use brown miso as a base for marinades, salad dressings, or glazes for roasted vegetables and meats.

Its robust flavor pairs well with heartier ingredients like root vegetables, mushrooms, and pork.

Root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips)

Mushrooms

Tofu

Pork

Broth and dashi

Noodles

Boiling miso paste: High heat can destroy its delicate flavor and beneficial properties.

Using too much: Brown miso has a strong flavor, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
