Miso paste is made from fermented soybeans and is a key ingredient in Japanese cooking and forms the base of the staple dish, miso soup. It adds a huge depth of flavor and I always try to have some in my refrigerator. The salty miso paste mixed with the sweet maple syrup is a match made in heaven. I absolutely love this combination of flavors.
