What is a more exact measurement for “miso paste enough for 8 cups of water” for those of us who don’t have the experience using this ingredient?
Thanks for asking, the reason it is written that way is that it might vary based on the type and brand of miso paste and some may say how much to use for how much water. But I am not sure that is so true these days, anyways, I would say 1/4 cup miso paste.
Thank you.
Try your local health food store. Check to make sure there is a hechshar (kosher symbol). There are generally two types, Barley and Brown Rice. I like the Barley and SD likes the Brown Rice. Get both kinds and see which one you like.
Do you know where we can find kosher Miso Soup Paste? Thanks
