Tip:
Miso is a fermented soybean paste used in Japanese cooking. It is available in a variety of colours and flavours. ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen used a golden yellow miso, which has a milder flavour, in this recipe. Look for miso in Asian grocery stores and specialty food stores.
Soba noodles are Japanese noodles made from buckwheat and wheat flour. They can be found in Asian grocery stores.
Nori is dried seaweed that is made into thin sheets. Typically it is used for wrapping sushi, but it can also be thinly sliced to serve as a garnish or seasoning. Nori can be found in Asian grocery stores and the Asian section of grocery stores.
