   Note: Miso is a fermented soybean paste that adds flavor to dishes like soups, sauces and salad dressings. It is available in different colors, depending on whether it's made with barley-, rice- or soy-based mold. In general, the lighter the color, the milder the flavor. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for at least a year. Any type of miso will work in this recipe.
