In case you never knew, there are actually three types of miso: white, yellow, and red. White miso, also known as sweet miso, is fermented for the shortest amount of time, making it mild and delicate. It is best used for dressings, soups, and sauces. Yellow miso is fermented a bit longer, so its flavor is bolder and is mostly used in cooking. Red miso is fermented the longest and has a bold, assertive flavor. It is best suited for hearty dishes like braises and marinades. Also you need to keep in mind that only white miso is gluten-free, which is what this simple bok choy recipe calls for.
