Notes
- *1 Miso paste can be purchased from Japanese/Asian grocery stores. Choose the one that does not have dashi already included. If you need homemade miso recipe, see my miso post.
- *2 Deeper saucepan is a wise and safe choice as the caramel may explode and spit hot caramel on to you.
- *3 Be patient, stirring causes the sugar to crystallize.
- *4 It will keep about 2 weeks in the fridge, you can also freeze them too. See above post.
