*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. The lighter miso is used in delicate soups,
sauces, and marinades, while the darker version is used in heartier
dishes. It is available in Asian markets as well as most natural foods
stores.

*PRESSED TOFU (see recipe)

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.
