Nutritional values

The lactic acid-fermented paste made from soybeans, salt, and cereals contains essential amino acids and minerals. Depending on the variety, miso also contains 12 to 20 percent protein. In Japan, miso is one of the indispensable seasonings in everyday cooking.

You don't have to be vegetarian to appreciate the spicy eggplants. They taste just as good with fish or poultry as they do with a salad and sticky rice as a meatless meal.
