Red Miso Paste

Hikari Miso Red Soybean Paste is a rich, full-bodied Japanese miso made from fermented soybeans, known for its deep savoury flavour and dark colour. This red miso, or aka miso, has a longer fermentation time, giving it a more intense, slightly salty taste with pronounced umami depth.

Smooth and easy to blend, it dissolves well into soups, sauces and marinades, adding complexity and warmth to a wide range of dishes. Its robust character makes it particularly suited to heartier recipes, where it can stand up to stronger ingredients without losing its presence.

A small amount goes a long way, making it a dependable ingredient for building flavour in both traditional Japanese cooking and everyday meals.

Key Features:

• 400g pack of red miso soybean paste.
• Produced by Hikari Miso, a respected Japanese brand.
• Made from fermented soybeans for deep umami flavour.
• Darker, stronger variety with a longer fermentation process.
• Smooth texture for easy mixing into liquids and sauces.
• Suitable for soups, marinades and savoury dishes.
• Concentrated flavour, use in small amounts

Recipe Inspiration:

• Dissolve the miso into hot dashi or stock with tofu and spring onions to create a warming, savoury soup.
• Brush aubergine with a mixture of miso, oil and a little sugar, then roast until soft and caramelised.
• Stir miso into a hot broth base to create a deeper, more complex ramen with a full-bodied flavour.
• Mix miso with garlic, ginger and a little sweetness, then coat ingredients before roasting or grilling.

What is the difference between red miso and white miso?

Red miso is fermented for longer, which gives it a darker colour and a stronger, saltier flavour compared to the milder, slightly sweeter white miso.

When should miso be added during cooking?

Miso is best added towards the end of cooking and not boiled, as high heat can reduce its depth of flavour.

Can miso be used outside of Japanese recipes?

Yes, it can be used to add savoury depth to a variety of dishes such as sauces, stews or even salad dressings.
