But the other day, I decided to use miso paste as a booster - I have a chicken stock paste that is good from a "health" perspective, but doesn't always boost the umami as much as I want. So I decided to throw in a teaspoon of miso. It was delicious, and I think I will do this all the time. I great way to add a fermented food!
