Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 South River Miso was one of the first miso's I tried so I guess I'm spoiled n. I have to try the aged Barley now. The three that I've tried are all amazing and all uniquely delicious. Give the Garlic Red Pepper, Dandelion Leek and my all round fav White Miso a try. You will not be disappointed! And before the warm weather starts- stock up on a few extra jars, if ordering online, as they don't ship in warm weather months. Bon appetit! sprouts and South River Miso To everyone who recommended South River Miso--Thanks so much!I finally opened the jar of their aged Barley miso and wow! That is the best miso I have ever tasted.I once paid a small fortune for a Japanese made Mugi miso that I thought would have been amazing, but was dissappointed. After almost 25 years of tasting misos, I pretty much gave up on finding ones like I read about in Japanese cookbooks. Well the search is over.Tonight I put a pile of mung bean sprouts (bout a cup--unhulled lol) and a handful of french lentil sprouts (bout a half cup), put some brown rice on top and then mixed in some toasted barley miso. Added a dash of soy and a dash of sesame oil. It was delicious. To toast the miso, I put miso on the back side of a large metal cooking spoon and passed it over an open flame to toast it. I read about doing this years ago in the Book Of Miso (a great book, as is the book of tofu, and the book of tempeh). If I wasn't so tired, I would have made miso soup, but the sprouts/rice/miso dish was great. Now that I think about it, I could have easily just put hot water into the bowl and it would have been soup--a few chopped green onions and it would have been good. I generally like to eat an umeboshi (pickled plum) with that and follow it all up with some good green tea (Genmai cha or Sencha), but I am out of Japanese green tea and decided to forgo the pickle. I made some Chinese green Jasmine tea though. So the sprouts and that miso are a fantastic combo. And to think, I have only tried one flavor of South River so far. Thanks again to all who recommended it. :)marion who had to resist eating miso out of the jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Well, now. Thanks to n's rave about the Barley & your advice to stock up now, ......I took my tentative plan to buy off the back burner. Ordered the Barley; Dandelion Leek & White (to start me off). They shipped today & I'll have 'em tomorrow. I'll try to get more next month, finances permitting. Don > > South River Miso was one of the first miso's I tried so I guess I'm spoiled n.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You read my mind. We have some stores regionally that carry - usually only 3 or 4 types. I went ahead and ordered today, too, but since I'm on the other side of the country, I'm sure it will take longer - also got a soymilk maker - interested in the nut milks (which I used to make straining through a stocking 20 years ago) and the nut pates.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Don,I hope you like them :)What I really like about the Barley is that it is not overly salty and the tastes and textures (barley miso must have texture), are fully in balance. It really went well with my sprouts and rice the other night.Tonight, dinner was soup with noodles and tons of mixed sprouts. I think the South River Misos dissolve and mix better than any I have had. n. n Rollings, PhDNJ Licensed Psychologist #4686www.DrnRollings.com Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world...

In my haste to taste (I'm a poet & don't know it?), I made a real simple barley miso soup about 5 hours ago. Boiled about 3 cups filtered water to which I added a handful of dulse broken into small pieces; let it cool somewhat. Had poured about 1/2 cup into my measuring cup & stirred in about 3-4 Tbsp of the miso to dissolve. Then, I added it to the " soup " ....stirred to mix & found it to be quite good. Guess it's gonna be lotsa fun trying out different ways to prepare it and the other 2. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
