either medium or long-grain brown rice in this recipes. If you don't
have brown rice, or the time it takes to prepare it, use white rice,
but cook in step 2 for only 15-20 minutes. *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. For

you like Japanese miso soup, you will love this simple pilaf. It has a
