Notes
- If eating gluten-free is important to you, make sure to read the miso ingredients carefully as many contain gluten. Shiro Miso and some brown rice miso are gluten-free. Substitute these for the white miso, if needed.
- If you have a different type of miso on hand, feel free to use that rather than buying white miso.
