Miso paste is a fermented soybean paste that is commonly used in Japanese cuisine. It has a salty, umami flavor and is used as a condiment or ingredient in many dishes. To make miso paste, soybeans are first cooked and then fermented with a mold called koji. The koji breaks down the soybeans and creates enzymes that contribute to the fermentation process. The soybeans are then mixed with salt and water to create the miso paste.

Miso paste can be used in many different dishes, such as soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. It is also a common ingredient in Japanese noodle dishes.
