Walnut Miso Paste
"From the Just Bento blog. This is a savory paste, just 1/2 teaspoon adds a savory flair to a serving or so of blanched, steamed or boiled veggies. I've tried it with green beans and Brussels sprouts. This makes a small quantity, good for about a week, If you make a larger quantity, it can be frozen. I used a light brown miso. If you don't have mirin, use sake. Regular sugar or a sweetener of your choice can be used in place of the raw sugar."

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
