Hikari-miso is the brand I buy without trying the others, glad to know it’s the top choice. 👍
Miso soup is great with tofu, seaweed and green onions. Sometimes I sprinkle with chili powder for some zing. YUM!
I love bean curd. I loved fermented stuff. I like the taste of miso in Japanese, Korean fare, etc. However,sometimes it makes me light-headed like a lot of people, perhaps a slight allergic reaction or a Chinese restaurant syndrome thing.
Just FYI folks, toilets are tested by using Miso to replicate human waste. Have fun thinking about that next time you eat miso.
America test kitchen – NO miso soup is complete without DASHI seasoning , can be KELP (seaweed) or from Dried LITTLE fish ( Niboshi) ,
you will find adding a littlie or Either or BOTH to miso soup Brings out more Flavor and UMAMI.
America's TEST kitchen – perhaps IF the USA did not DEPORT and INTERN the Japanese in the 1940's , then you MIGHT have had the Chance to ENJOY all kinds of Homemade MISO and TOFO sold in Japanese GROCERY stores in America.
I am a 2nd generation Japanese and my Parents ran a Grocery Store and sold their HOMEMADE miso, tofu and Kimchee.
i luv miso, however. WOW, she ate A LOT of miso! i am no expert, but i didnt think that was humanly possible! that would be like eating a tablespoon of salt with a drop of fish oil chaser!
I went to a Japanese resraurant where they served miso soup as an appetizer. It tasted delicious, like a mild chicken vegetable broth but the smell was horrendous. 'Barnyard' is how my friend described it. It smelled like that manure smell when you drive past a farm. I had to breathe through my mouth as I ate it. I just can't make that at home.
Good thing I happened to buy the best 😅
Very informative video!
I had a recipe that called for white miso. I bought the one that ATK rated the best. Since I never used it before, I didn't know what it was supposed to be like. It is one of the worst smelling and tasting food products I have ever encountered. It basically ruins the taste of anything. Maybe I got a bad container, but I don't know if I would try miso again.
I can't believe she ate like a teaspoon of miso loool… dedication
Got on here to check equipment reviews of toasters. Ha! So Much great stuff to see from ATK! Thanx! Was surprised to see this on miso.Yamabuki came doctor reommended to me about twenty yrs ago as guaranteed no MSGs. These others can be fairly heavy with it. So I have stuck with this one. If a brand tastes really great… it could be Happy Tongue!
Please don’t stop making this series
It's a misconception to think that miso is used in asian cooking; it's true only in the sense that Japan is in Asia. Outside Japan and maybe Korea, no other asian countries used miso as a key ingredient — not China, Vietnam, Thailand, or India.
White people recommending miso?! Hahah
soy sauce is a by product of miso production. Marukome is the beginner miso and the most classic in flavour. If no one has ever tried miso butter pasta, it’s so good
two words: DOUBLE DIPPING. UGH. One spoon, 4 bowls. COME ON GUYS.
I love Miso soup. I've never had it in any other way. I don't think my local market carries it but next time I need groceries I'll look to see what brand they have if they do carry it. I might have to order it online.
This is off topic of the video but if ATK wants to tackle the dough recipe from a pizzeria in Milwaukee Oregon called Pietro’s Pizza I would be grateful.
Does anyone know what happened to Chris Kimball (I think was his name) thin guy who wore glasses? I liked him.
Eat it with slices or sticks of cucumber.
Is she using the same spoon for everything… gross
