    For those who don't like coriander (I love it but not everyone does) I made this soup with 3cm fresh ginger in it (chopped & added with carrot)

    Hey there.  Thanks for your comment.  Shiro Miso paste is fermented soybeans and is like a stock concentrate paste.  You can add a spoon of it to hot water to make a lovely savoury broth to drink which is what is served in the mugs at most sushi restaurants.  There are many uses for it including marinades and salad dressings.  I found it in the asian food aisle at my local Woolies for $3 something (less than $4) for 400g.  Not a big outlay for a gastronomic adventure.  I'd love to hear what you think after you've tried it! xx Fi

    This sounds delicious. What is Shiro Miso paste? Does it have other uses that will make it worth buying the paste?
