Tasty Tips
Red miso is an aged Japanese soybean paste. Miso is available at well-stocked grocery stores, Asian markets or online. A tablespoon of miso can boost the flavor of hearty soups, stews, or braised meat dishes.
Chinese eggplants are slender with thin skins. The flesh is less bitter than common globe eggplants and do not require salting prior to use.
