What is miso paste? And what kind do you use in thise garlic cauliflower?
Miso paste is a paste is a fermented soy bean paste. This makes it is rich in minerals and a good source of various vitamins. You can often find this ingredient in Japanese cuisine. For example in miso soup, a very comforting and rich broth.
There are different kinds of miso paste. For this recipe we’ll be using a light miso paste, also known as white or sweet miso. This miso paste is a bit sweeter because it has a higher rice content. Not every white miso paste is the same, you have different outcomes depending on the fermantation time, quality of the ingredients and proportions. You also have darker miso pastes that are, for example, more intense in flavour.
