How do I make a basic miso soup with this paste?
Bring 2 cups of water or dashi to a gentle simmer, remove from heat, then whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of Roland Foods Organic Miso Paste until dissolved. Add cubed tofu, wakame seaweed, and sliced scallions before serving.
Can I use this miso paste in salad dressings and dipping sauces?
Yes. Whisk a teaspoon of miso paste with rice vinegar, sesame oil, a touch of honey or maple syrup, and water to create an umami-rich dressing or dipping sauce for vegetables, dumplings, or grilled proteins.
How should I store the miso paste after opening?
Reseal the pouch and store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep its flavor and quality for several months. Always use a clean spoon to avoid introducing contaminants.
Is this miso paste compatible with vegan and vegetarian diets?
Yes. The paste is 100% plant-based, made from organic soybeans, organic rice, sea salt, and water, making it suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarian eaters.
Does this paste work with other pantry staples I likely already have at home?

What exactly is included in the pouch when I receive it?

Is this miso paste safe to consume if I have a soy allergy?
No. This product is made from organic soybeans and should not be consumed by anyone with a soy allergy or sensitivity. Always review the full ingredient list before use.
How long does the miso paste last once opened?
When properly resealed and refrigerated, opened miso paste typically stays fresh for several months thanks to its natural salt content and fermentation. Always check for off smells or discoloration before use.
What is the difference between miso paste and soy sauce?
Soy sauce is a liquid seasoning made from fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt, delivering a thin, salty umami. Miso paste is a thicker, fermented soybean-and-rice paste that provides deeper, rounder umami with more body, making it suitable as a base, marinade, or finishing paste rather than just a pour-in seasoning.
