Is Miso vegan?
Miso paste is naturally and always vegan. The key ingredients are actually quite simple vegan ingredients, but the transformation they go on is extraordinarily; the fermentation process takes the humble soybeans, salt and rice koji to an incredibly complex, even meaty taste!
It is understandable why some people think that miso might not be vegan because many miso soup recipes combine vegan miso paste with fish stock, and this is a traditional Japanese miso soup recipe. You can however, make miso soup vegan, by simply using a vegan dashi.
