What is miso?

Miso is a fermented soybean paste that is made by inoculating trays of white rice with a mold, Aspergillus oryzae, and leaving it to mold abundantly. A ground preparation of cooked soybeans and salt is then mixed into it, and the mass is allowed to ferment for several days more before being ground into a paste the consistency of peanut butter. The entire process may take 10 to 40 days, depending upon the temperature.

Miso is used primarily as a flavoring in soups and vegetables. The color, taste, texture, and degree of saltiness of miso depend upon the exact ingredients used and the duration of the fermentation process. Miso ranges in color from white to brown.

The lighter varieties are less salty and mellower in flavor, while the darker ones are saltier and have a more intense flavor. Some misos are pasteurized, while others are not.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
