*MISO (Pronounced MEE-soh) is a highly nutritious fermented soybean paste with a creamy consistency. It is used extensively in Japanese cuisine to thicken and season dishes.

Notes: This is a real home-style Japanese stew. Daikon, also called Japanese white radish, has the sharp taste and crisp texture of radish, but it can grow to be more than one foot long. Look for it at Asian markets. Mirin is a sweet rice wine common in Japanese kitchens; if it's unavailable, substitute sweet sherry.
