Homemade "miso" The Japanese diet is so popular around the world because it's healthy. It has very varied and plenty of fermented food.The most famous Japanese fermented food may be "miso". Miso is made by fermenting a mixture of soybeans, malted rice, and salt. Miso is not only miso soup. Miso goes well with everything! I use miso as a secret ingredient in curry. I only put tomatoes and miso in a pot for making tomato sauce. Miso cookies also taste good. Yesterday, I made miso with my daughter. It will be ready to eat next year. Homemade miso is translated into "temae miso" which also has interesting meaning. "temae miso desuga..." means "I don't mean to brag, but..." in English. "temae miso desuga", my homemade miso is the best ! (photo) left : I made it yesterday. center: 4 years ago. right : last year
