Tips
Ingredient Note:
Miso is a fermented bean paste made from barley, rice or soybeans that is used in Japanese cooking to add flavor to dishes, such as soups, sauces and salad dressings. It is available in different colors; in general, the lighter the color, the more mild the flavor. Look for miso alongside the refrigerated tofu in the supermarket. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for more than a year.

Tomorrow's Recipe: Chili-Spiced Asparagus
Earthy chili combines with the sour-power of sherry vinegar to create a fine dressing for the grassy-green asparagus. For a smoky twist, try substituting smoked paprika for the chili powder.
