Miso Lab Aka Red Miso Paste

Description:

Miso Lab Aka Red Miso Paste is the bold end of the miso spectrum. Like its shiro counterpart it comes from Nagano Prefecture and is made the traditional way — soybeans and grain inoculated with koji culture, then fermented slowly with no additives, no alcohol and no GMO ingredients.

The difference is time. A longer ferment darkens the paste to a deep red-brown and concentrates the flavour into something richer, saltier and far more complex than white miso, with a pronounced savoury depth that holds its own against strong ingredients.

Reach for it when a dish needs backbone: hearty miso soups, ramen broths, braises and stews, glazes for eggplant or mushrooms, marinades for beef and lamb, or a spoonful stirred into a gravy or bolognese for instant umami. A little goes a long way, so start with less than you think. Add it off the heat or at the end of cooking to preserve the live cultures, and refrigerate after opening.

Made in Japan and packed in a 270g jar. Naturally vegan and dairy free.
