It's a Japanese ingredient so if you've got a Japanese or Oriental supermarket near they should sell it.

There are different types of miso, but I'm told that the red variety is the one to use. Apparently the next best one to use is shiromiso, or white miso.

You guys should bring back lots of authentic recipes and post them up..

I picked up a really good recipe book when I was in Tokyo a few years ago, no idea where it is now though. Not only did the recipes make really nice food but there was some very amusing Engrish.

You should go dig it out.

Yeah I have a few oriental places about. Will have to pop in and get some. I need some more oyster sauce anyway. So much cheaper then supermarkets.

Next time I see Kate online I'll ask her to send over some more authentic recipes. They're more likely to be Japanese than Chinese but it's all good

Might go grab a chinese and sit down and watch this (then realise i'm eating crap

).

Got to say I was disappointed. That sweet and sour looked awful. Pineapple and lime. There would be no depth to that sauce. Certainly to much emphasis on healthy that episode. The next one looks like better recipes.

I dunno i was impressed, i wouldn't say no to any of that. Easy to prepare and rewarding...

The beef one looked nice. But the sweet and sour pork, just looked awful. But I suppose it might be worthy a try as it was done by a chef who supposedly knows what they are doing.

The salad to go with that was incredibly simple looked lovely
