Some recipe titles you can read and say – I am all in and others may give you a little break. I’m the same way. I’m grateful my daughter has less break than me. She is the one who brought the miso into the house. You may ask what Miso tastes like. I do not think I can explain it better than what I found on the internet so here is what Google says.
What’s the point of miso? Miso is the ultimate reference point for the taste sense of the machine Umami. The ointment and soup have a deep salty taste, with a rich, funky, salty-sweet richness. This umami flavor is the basis for a lot of everyday Japanese cooking.
This chicken dish combines very easily and the taste is a little salty and a little sweet with a little heat. I think you should check it out. The only difference is that we did not care that the green onion was roasted as it was. We felt it was hard to deal with them. They did not like being cut off and no one wants to put a whole one in their mouth. But you do you!
