If miso still feels like one of those ingredients best left to the pros, we’ve got good news: the Miso Tasty range has just landed at Woolworths, and it’s made to take the guesswork out of cooking with miso. Stir it into a dressing or use it as a marinade, miso is your shortcut to big, umami-rich flavour with very little effort.

Founded by Bonnie Chung, Miso Tasty sources its miso directly from Japan, where it’s made using traditional fermentation methods and no artificial additives. The result? A punchy, all-natural product that helps you build flavour fast. At Woolworths, you’ll find white and red miso pastes, plus two ready-to-use glazes, each with its own bold personality. Here’s what to expect and a few easy ways to use them.

White miso paste

Mild, slightly sweet and easy to work with, white miso gives you a flavour boost without dominating. Use it to enrich dressings, butter, soups and even icing.

Red miso paste

Red miso brings the funk. It’s stronger and saltier than white miso, and is perfect for bold, punchy dishes. A little goes a long way.

This one turns up the heat. It’s thick, fiery and sweet – just right for glazes, dressings and marinades with bite.
