I used to use a large container to make miso, but it would grow mold, so I tried it out in Ziploc bags instead.

You can use the miso after 6 months. The rice koji gives it a subtle sweetness. Recipe by Gachimayakeisan.

Steps

1

The day before preparing the miso, soak the soy beans overnight.
2

Rinse the soy beans, and boil until tender. Skimming off the scum while boiling, and add more water if the level reduces below the level of the soy beans. Cooking the soy beans in a pressure cooker is easy!
3

Combine the rice koji and salt while the soy beans are boiling.
4

Drain the soy beans once they are cooked. Set aside the boiled liquid.
5

Pulverize the soy beans while they are hot. This is easy if you use a food processor. It's tasty if you leave it lumpy.
6

Once the soy beans are cool to the touch, mix together with the rice koji and salt from Step 3. Adjust the consistency with the boiled liquid to the firmness of your earlobe.
7

Pack the soy beans into the Ziploc bag, completely press out the air, then seal.
