Many times I post recipes that use Asian ingredients: Mae Ploy Sweet and Hot sauce, Sesame Oil (in affordably sized bottles) and so on. Heck I was spoiled in California with San Francisco just a short drive away and the small chain of Ranch 99 asian markets right near me. I've been lucky to find a small Asian grocery near me but their inventory is very limited. Yesterday the wife showed me a great recipe for a soup I'm going to make us tonight that uses Soba noodles, cut up cubes of sweet potato, cabbage and scallions in a chicken stock soup base. It got me thinking about miso soup base and the wonderful variations you can make with miso paste. Miso paste is fermented soya beans (put simply - there are many types of miso paste). If you've ever been to a Japnese restaurant and been served that simple but satisfying soup of seaweed, tofu and scallions in a broth - miso paste is what that broth is made from. There are many variations.
Anyway I went hunting for miso paste online and found a great online Asian grocery - if you order over $25.00 Fed Ex Ground shipping is on $5.00 - and for me spending over $25.00 for basic items I need in my cupboard is easy. Check them out. If you have any questions you see and aren't sure about it, post here or PM me. OK ??
