MIso hot pot (Miso Nikomi)

Miso is now ready to eat!

Miso is a fermented seasoning made from soy beans, salt and rice malt. It has been fermented for 10 month.  I made it last January and just left it.

It is common to buy miso nowadays, however, people in old time used to make their home mad miso every year.






Today's dinner was miso hot pot, called Miso NIkomi(味噌煮込み）. Miso Nikomi is local dish in Tokai region. I used to eat quite often in my home town. Root vegetables such as daikon radish and carrot, Japanese leeks, shiitake mushroom, pork and Udon noodled are well simmered with Miso soup, it tasted really nice.







Mine is without pork! It is also nice only with vegetables.

Home made miso tastes really well. I am going make it for next year too.
