During your time as an amateur chef, you may have encountered a recipe that calls for miso paste.
There are four different types of miso paste - yellow, red, white, and black - but all are created with a fermented soybean paste.
While it looks like the insides of a dying sea creature, miso paste is found in many Asian recipes, including your beloved miso soup.
And it can be used to majorly enhance a wide range of dishes... like this Miso-Marinated Black Cod.
...Or this Ginger-Miso-Glazed Eggplant.
It even makes cauliflower not look like a bleached brain (sort of)!
Still not convinced? Three words: Miso. Butter. Shrimp.
Garlic Miso Chicken Wings for Game Day.
Try these Miso Roasted Chickpeas as a healthy (but seriously flavorful) alternative to potato chips.
Not healthy enough? How about Asparagus with Miso Butter?
Make it a meal with this bowl of Soba Noodles with Bok Choy and Garlicky Miso Tahini Sauce.
...Or this MISO RAMEN WITH CRISPY SHREDDED PORK AND BURNT GARLIC SESAME OIL.
And for dessert... Ginger Miso Ice Cream.
