🙋🏽♀️ Recipe FAQs
Substitute with vegan Thai Red Curry paste, or tomato paste mixed with smoked paprika.
Miso is a whole-soy food. Miso is not associated with the stomach cancer risk attributed to the salt in other fermented foods like kimchi. Even though it is a salty food, it has not been found to raise the risk of developing high blood pressure. It is a healthy way to add umami flavor to soups, dressings, sauces, and stews.
