White Miso vs. Red Miso

For this recipe, I used white sweet miso. As background, white miso is lighter, sweeter, and milder than its red miso counterpart. It also does not taste as salty as the red miso paste. Both are great in so many ways, but yet very different. So, be sure you are using the right one when you make this recipe.
