ひよこ豆の味噌|Chickpea Miso

一昨年の12月ひよこ豆で味噌を作ってみた。そして秋にいい感じにできあがり。ちょっとしょっぱめだけどおいしい!豆と麹と塩で簡単に出来るので、今年も作りたいな。ひよこ豆がまだ少し残ってるし、今回は大豆とひよこ豆味噌にしてみようかな。半年くらいかけて少しづつ成長していくのを観察するのも楽しい。

Not last December, but two Decembers ago, I prepared some miso paste with chickpeas. And here it is ready one year on. It was the second time making miso. The first time was at a workshop and it turned out so well that I decided to make some again but with chickpeas this time since a friend who left the country gave me bags of them. 

I'm satisfied with the result except it's a little on the salty side. Less salt next time I think. It's so easy and the waiting process is fun too. Having homemade miso is great! I'll definitely try making another batch this year. All you need is beans, salt and koji.
