Chili-Miso
10m
A very useful and all-purpose Chili-Miso that will be on your dining table every day!
This recipe can be used as a seasoning for cooking, but it can also be added over rice or vegetables as it is.
My grandmother started a small miso factory in the countryside of Kyoto, hoping that more people would enjoy the wonderful miso—a Kyoto specialty made from Tanba black soybeans—, and that it would energize the local community.
My mother took over the business and used fresh vegetables from their fields to make pickles and other products using natural farming and additive-free methods. Their "Yuzu Miso" and "Chili Miso" using their handmade miso turned out to be extremely popular.
If you like it spicy, you can add more chili peppers.
