Miso-flavored fried rice for your next recipe? Adding miso when you cook fried rice gives you a savoy flavor. This simple and easy dish makes your day! This Miso fried rice can be great for lunch, a bento box, or dinner!

Miso is amazing. I use miso as a hidden flavor in my meals all the time. One of my favorite recipes is miso fried rice, and I am going to introduce this easy and tasty recipe today!

>All you need to know about Miso(variety, effect, recipes)

Miso is known for being a very healthy ingredient. Miso gives a savory flavor and can be used in so many recipes. Adding even a little miso makes your meal so much better.

Which Miso Should I Use for This Recipe?

I use dashi miso for this recipe, so if you can find dashi miso, then that’s great. Dashi miso is great to have. You can use it in so many situations. It contains dashi already so you don’t need an extra process to make dashi.

For example, if you want to make miso soup quickly, you can just use this miso and just add ingredients such as tofu, seaweed, green onion, or more, and it’s done. You can skip the process of making dashi, so it reduces the time to cook.

Miso has so many varieties, so you might struggle with which one to choose. You want to use different types of miso in different recipes, but I understand you don’t want to buy a lot of miso and stock it at home and can’t finish using it. I strongly recommend buying dashi miso or Awase miso. If you choose one of them, you can make a lot of miso recipes without struggling!

Miso is so good to have. You will use miso in other recipes 🙂
