I am going to start posting on miso and miso making with #misostr

Please join and follow :)

It is great that we could talk about miso in nostr.

Miso is a fermented bean paste used for miso soup and other recipes.

There are different kinds of miso. Red miso, white miso, haccho miso, wheat miso etc. I grew up in a white miso area but my mother used only red miso as my grandmother did. So I am a red miso eater. Macrobiotic diet uses wheat miso, which, I think, is tasty too.

Typical soy (or other bean) miso is made of three ingredients.

Koji

Beans

Salt

When I buy soy bean miso at store. I usually buy one that has only three ingredients and organic. A lot of miso contain other ingredients. I like this brand among what I can get in the United States (but probably there are other good ones that I don’t know of).

I have miso, bought three kinds two years ago. We don't use it much, czech kitchen is more about other tastes.

But can it spoil? I ferment and thought it's very salty, and it behaves like it. One year, jar long opened in a fridge, it's exactly the same I think.

The date on the glass is very innacurate, am I right? Or can it develop something nasty without me noticing?

Hi Bäretta! It makes me smile that miso jars are sitting in the fridge in Chech.

Can miso go bad? I don't know. It is fermented, So it is spoiled already in a sense. I never heard miso went bad. But it does have an expiration date.

Miso can be fermented for 3 years in a air-tight jar in a shelf. But it can be molded (but mold can scraped off and the rest is fine). But if it is mixed with air and other food, it may go bad, I imagine. My friend actually put miso in the freezer. She said it would not be frozen and stayed as it is.

Unfortunately, I cannot say if your miso is fine for sure, But if it tastes the same, probably it is ok.

A small amount of miso can be added to dressing too.
