Light miso made from Austrian organic broken rice and organic soy – mild, delicately sweet, 190 g in a jar.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenusskoarl Organic Shiro Miso\u003c\/strong\u003e is a light miso paste made from water, organic broken rice from ÖsterReis near Gerasdorf, organic soybeans from the Weinviertel region, and non-iodized salt from Ebensee. It is fermented and bottled at the workshop in Wolkersdorf in the Weinviertel. 190 g, vegan, the mildest variety in the Genusskoarl miso range. No colorings, no added flavorings, no preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Shiro Miso from Genusskoarl\u003c\/strong\u003e is a miso, a fermented seasoning paste based on a Japanese model. Its base is koji: grain on which a noble mold culture grows. The enzymes of this culture break down starch and protein into sugar and amino acids, creating sweetness and umami. For a Shiro Miso, literally \"white miso,\" the koji is grown on rice. The high rice content makes the paste light, mild, and slightly sweet. For this, Genusskoarl uses broken rice from dry rice cultivation by ÖsterReis, ten kilometers from the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shiro Miso is cream-colored and tastes mild, with a fine sweetness and a gentle umami depth. The producer describes it as wonderfully savory with a fruity note. It adds saltiness, rounds out flavors, and allows the dish to retain its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the mildest variety in the range. The Mugi Miso made from barley is stronger and malty, while the chickpea miso is nutty. Those expecting a dark, long-matured miso with a strong savory profile are better off choosing Mugi Miso; Shiro Miso is intended for light, delicate cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer recommends Shiro Miso for light soups, dressings, and delicate sauces. It goes well in vegetable and wok dishes, meat marinades, and salad dressings, and it makes a mild miso butter for fish, corn, or bread. A classic miso soup can be prepared by adding a spoonful of paste to hot vegetable broth, along with spring onions and tofu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor warm dishes, stir the miso into a little warm liquid first before adding it to the dish. This makes the sauce creamy without lumps. Add it only at the end so that the flavor of the fermentation is preserved. One teaspoon to one tablespoon is usually enough for two portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Shiro Miso contains soy. Store the jar at room temperature while unopened; keep it in the refrigerator once opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whisk one teaspoon of Shiro Miso with two tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice. This creates a dressing for leafy salads or fennel that adds both saltiness and a fine sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rice used for this grows near Gerasdorf, just outside Vienna. ÖsterReis by Gregor Neumeyer grows dry rice there, which is Austria's first organic rice project. During processing, broken rice remains—broken grains that would otherwise end up as animal feed. Genusskoarl uses this to make the koji for the Shiro Miso. The soybeans come from the organic farm Lust-Sauberer in the Weinviertel, the salt from the Saline Austria in Ebensee, and the water from Wolkersdorf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenusskoarl is a fermentation workshop in Wolkersdorf in the Weinviertel, Lower Austria, founded in 2016 in Vienna by Karl Severin Traugott. After the chickpea miso and the Mugi Miso, the Shiro Miso is the third miso from the workshop. After fermentation, it is pasteurized, which is why it keeps at room temperature when unopened and remains stable for many months. All raw materials come from Austrian organic farming, controlled by Austria Bio Garantie (AT-BIO-301).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShiro Miso is for everyone who wants to get started with miso. It is mild and hides well in many things: dressings, soups, and butter. It fits well in kitchens where plenty of vegetables are served, and suits anyone who likes to trace ingredients back to the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a stronger flavor, try \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bio-mugi-miso\"\u003eOrganic Mugi Miso\u003c\/a\u003e made from pot barley; for soy-free options, try \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bio-kichererbsen-miso\"\u003eOrganic Chickpea Miso\u003c\/a\u003e.
