Miso is a paste made from fermented soybeans and is a key ingredient in Japanese cooking. It’s what gives miso soup its rich, salty flavor. The texture of miso similar to peanut butter. Because its fermented, miso is a natural source of healthy probiotics and can last up to a year or more in your fridge depending on the variety. You can find miso in most large grocery stores. Look for it in the produce section or in tubs near refrigerated tofu.

Sesame oil is popular for dressings and stir-fry because of its bold flavor, but remember that a little goes a long way! Look for an oil that is a deep brown color – it will have more flavor than a light oil.
