Test Kitchen Tip: Red miso is a paste of soybeans fermented with barley and other grains. A staple of Japanese cuisine, it ranges from red to dark brown in color, and provides rich umami flavor. Red miso typically has a deeper, richer flavor than white or yellow miso, and can overwhelm milder dishes, though it’s perfect for marinades and soups. It can be found in the refrigerated produce section of supermarkets or in Asian markets.
