Event description

Join us for a workshop on the Marvels of Miso!

Kōji is a fungus (Aspergillus oryzae) traditionally used in Japanese cuisine to ferment foods like miso, soy sauce, and sake. This powerful fungus can transform simple ingredients into incredibly flavorful, umami-rich foods! During this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of kōji and how it can be used in your kitchen.

Through fermentation, kōji's enzymes break down starches and proteins, increasing nutrient availability and creating deep, complex flavors. Kōji can be mixed with a variety of beans, grains, and even vegetable scraps to make delicious, shelf-stable ferments like miso. This makes it a fantastic tool for reducing food waste and building flavor from scratch.

In this workshop, we will:

*   Learn some of the history and science behind Aspergillus oryzae.

*   Demonstrate how to make miso at home.

*   Taste a variety of kōji-based products including miso soup, quick kōji pickles, and amazake, a sweet fermented rice beverage.

This workshop is presented in partnership with ReDelicious DC and is supported by the Mycological Association of Washington DC.
