An Instant Way to Bolster Flavor

'Inventive cooks are always looking to push flavor to the maximum.

Here is my advice: When in doubt, add a little miso. It has transformative powers.

In addition to offering a host of nutritional and probiotic benefits, miso imbues everything it touches with a sweet, salty, nutty complexity. Whether you choose mild white miso, medium-bodied yellow miso or the more intense reddish-brown miso, it gives foods instant brightness. Even a very small quantity adds dimension and sparkle to salad dressings, soups and stews.'>>>

Years ago, I was on a work assignment in Hong Kong and the hotel where I stayed served miso for breakfast. I had never tasted it; gave it a try and loved it. It was so tasty and perfect for breakfast.

Back home in Dallas, there was a Japanese grocery story near my office. The store had a lunch counter where they sold mostly sushi, but they did serve miso and I would go over there to buy sobu noodles and have a bowl of miso.

Since then miso has been totally out of thoughts and eating habits. Now I really want some, I am going to the oriental grocery tomorrow.

Try it for breakfast, so good for you and wonderful flavor. Has lots of health benefits, too. And it would be a great flavor enhancer for many foods.
