How to make miso paste. - 味噌を作るよ。

Miso (soya bean paste) is an important and healthy food for Japanese diet. It's soft, brown, sticky and salty. In Japan, miso is used in miso soup and so on. Ingredients are soybeans, salt, malted rice, and water. That's all.

Enjoy making miso paste all by yourself. hehe.

というわけで、味噌を作りました。

Dear doniapresmidi,

thank you

@elkindored

OK I will try to translate how to make miso paste, however my English level is very poor.

[doniapresmidi]

@elkindored 1kg whole soybeans

Rinse the whole soybeans with water

Soak the soybeans in the 3L water...

overnight...

Next day,

Boil the soaked beans with soaking water.

Remove scum.

You need to boil them for about 4 hours to obtain soft soybeans.

@elkindored 1kg Malt(Koji) and 800g salt. Crumble malt. Add salt. Mix them well. Soybeans should be soft enough like this. Mash the beans while they are hot. Using a potato masher would be better. Add malt with salt into the mashed beans. Make mashed beans balls. Mashed beans balls! Throw them into the container. This process prevents the mashed beans from containing air. Cover the surface of the mashed beans with plastic wrap. Put the weight on top. And so pls wait 4 month :) Thanx.

i like your video thank you, sadly im not able to read Japanese, however i followed a bit more of instructions, you mentioned that you used malted rice, salt, soybeans and water, however the white flakes your were mixing with the crushed soybeans, is it glutinous rice flour, or another additive to conserving the flavor of the miso..????

[doniapresmidi]

Thank you for your question. They are rice malt and salt. To make it, you steam soybeans and leave it to mature after adding malt rice and salt.

That is salt right?
