miso substitute

[Guest guest]

does anyone know how/ or if I can substitute instant miso soup powder

in a recipe that calls for miso paste?? I want to make something but

hard to get out to store for one item. thanks.

Sorry, I don't know, but I kind of suspect not. If you are a

vegetarian, check the label. Most miso soup powder contains fish,

sometimes labeled as " bonito " , which is tuna. I bought some instant

miso soup recently at Trader Joes without reading the label -- I only

noticed my error when I returned home.

 

The nice thing about miso is that it lasts in your fridge forever. I

have 3 tubs in mine -- white, yellow and barley. Generally, the lighter

the color, the milder the flavor.

If you read thru these links, you might find something to help you figure it

out:

I would not think so. By miso soup powder do you mean dashi? Most

dashi contains bonito or dried fish flakes.

 

If you need the texture of the miso paste for your recipe you might be

able to make a very thick white bean paste and add some extra soy

sauce or tamari for the flavor. Would that work?

 

hth,
