How to choose good dried shiitake mushrooms

Information about ingredients
White miso paste
- White miso paste, also known as Shiro miso, is primarily made from rice, so it often has a cloudy white or ivory color. This type of miso is commonly used to make miso soup or seaweed soup.
- Compared to other types of miso, white miso is the least salty, so it is often used for marinating or for thinly sliced meats.
Spicy bean paste
- Spicy bean paste is made from soybeans, chili peppers, salt, and flour. The paste usually has a deep red color, a strong fermented bean aroma, and a salty, spicy taste.
- In cooking, spicy bean paste is often used as a seasoning for making sauces when cooking or for dry marinating.
You can buy tofu at markets, supermarkets, vegetarian food stores, or you can make it at home according to the instructions from Tastetutorial.com to ensure safety and family taste.
