In this series we're going to show y'all how we eat from our gardens and the woods. From planting seeds to harvesting to cooking, we'll take you along for the whole journey. This week we're making miso from homegrown grain corn and black beans and using it to season ramen with fresh shiitake mushrooms!

    Professional chef here 🙋🏼‍♀️ don’t boil the kombu, it will make your stock bitter. Instead bring your stock to a boil, turn off the heat and steep the seaweed for about 30 minutes. Once you remove the kombu you can return it to the boil with no ill effects.

    its so common to see fast paced and over stimulating content. I love your video format because it's soothing to watch and also educational. I look always look forward to watching your vids! Also are the beans you used in the miso the Cherokee Trail of Tears variety? Thanks in advance!

    you can also try cultivating nuruk(korean style culture) with dried corn leaves and stalks; it relies on a entourage of asperigillus, yeasts, bacillus, and rizhopus naturally found on your corn plant ^W^ takes 1 month to 6 months to mature; depending on how big or small you'd like your nuruk balls/ or blocks to be

    Well thank you for this wonderful video.I did not know until now that I have been making a miso for many years😅. I also didn't know I could eat it! I have a finicky cat who won't eat unless she has her soured barley mixed in. I use the starter like you do. I buy it at a health food store. I mix it with cooled cooked barley and salt. It doesn't take much to make dinner palatable for our tabby cat. As always, I thank you for the thoughtful way you present the information.

    The things you two are doing with food are revolutionary and one of the most inspirational things I'm seeing in the world right now. If you're not aware of the yt channel Andrewism or the Solarpunk movement in general, I'd suggest looking into it. On an ideology level, yall fit right into that world in my mind. Thanks for doing what you do.

    I love this! Makes me want to try making a soy-free miso. If you haven't checked out Mary's test kitchen on KZread, I bet you'd enjoy it. Her attempts of making tofu and yogurt from nontraditional sources feels right up your alley! Maybe next winter will feature some pumpkin seed tofu or black walnut yogurt

    Much simpler explaination on miso making than many I've seen. Do you think a dehydrator (35C/95F) would be too warm for the corn culturing phase?

    Can y'all grow mung beans? I've recently started using the sprouts as noodles. When you cook them a while they're pretty neutral. Alfalfa sprouts also work for the thin 'glass' noodles!

    How interesting and what a cool project! How would you compare the flavor to other miso types that might be more familiar? I used to spend a lot of time near where South River Miso had their production (right be a cool horse-powered farm) and they had a lot of unique types of miso which were always fun to try.

    Well the main flavor is glutamate which is the same amino acid as soybean miso so it’s a similar flavor, but I think the corn makes it a little sweeter maybe?
