Spotlight on Miso
This month we have a miso-based recipe for you to enjoy on our recipe page.
Miso, which is fermented soya bean paste, is one of the most delicious, versatile and nutritious Japanese ingredients. It has long been known as a food that both aids vitality and helps ward off colds and sickness — essential during grey winter days!
Miso is made by fermenting cooked soya beans with salt, water and koji, a cultured grain used as a starter in most Japanese fermented foods. The cultured grain may be barley, rice or soya. This is then left to mature. Varying the proportions of the ingredients creates a wide range of misos, for example, darker or lighter, with each region of Japan having its own favourite. Miso is a good source of essential amino acids and certain vitamins and minerals.
Here's a selection of the Clearspring miso pastes that we stock.
Miso products available in store and online.
Clearspring Ramen Noodles
It can sometimes be hard to balance the need for a healthy diet with the busy schedule of our daily lives. Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Ramen Noodles with Soup in two delicious flavours, Miso Ginger and Soya Sauce, have been developed to help time‐pressed consumers who want to cook fast but still eat well, without compromising on taste or organic quality. Ready in just four minutes, the noodles are ideal for a quick and healthy lunchtime meal, a light yet satisfying snack, or a more filling mid‐week meal if piled with freshly steamed or raw sliced vegetables. With two servings in every pack, they’re an ideal addition to your kitchen cupboard or even the office. The noodles and soup are 100% vegetarian and vegan, 100% GM free, and 100% free from any other hidden nasties like MSG.
Unlike conventional ramen noodles, Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Ramen Noodles are steamed rather than fried, making them lower in fat. The noodles are made from semi wholewheat flour and brown rice flour, giving them a great taste and texture. They are also a good source of fibre. The flour is freshly milled by Clearspring’s organic‐only suppliers, and then expertly crafted into superior noodle cakes by artisan producers in the Far East.
Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Ramen Noodles are a great way to enjoy the hearty taste of ramen noodles in soup whilst ensuring your meal is still healthful and well‐balanced.
