Miso

It makes miso sad...
that some people only associate miso with powdered soup.
Seriously, guys.
Go to your nearest Japanese grocery.
They will have a huge selection of miso pastes.
Red miso, white miso, black miso...
You can make soup and sauces.
You can brush some on fish and grill it.
The possibilities are limitless.

I have a friend in Japan who is a miso sommelier.
Yes, it is the coolest job ever.
She has made miso chocolate cookies.
Which I am DYING! to try.
