What is Miso?

In short, Miso is fermented soybeans. While it may not sound appetizing, Miso is one the most flavorful and often overlooked ingredients. Originally, Miso was found in countless Asian recipes. However, it has quickly found it's way into many non-Asian dishes such as our Baked Dijon Chicken Strips. The reason is simple: Flavor. Miso delivers a savory taste that is beyond compare.
