This recipe comes from my friend Maya, who taught me how to cook a few delicious Japanese dishes. Mirin is a type of rice wine which may contain varying amounts of alcohol. Both the miso and mirin add flavour to this dish. Try this dish with tofu steak, mixed with rice or pasta, or on toast with cheese on top.

In Phase II D2D remember to add foods gradually. Adding lots of fermented foods all at once can be lead to a Herxheimer ('die-off') reaction. This is where the microbes in the ferment compete with the microbes in the gut (usually the upper intestine) and cause the microbes in the gut to die, leaving inflammation, bloating and pain. By adding one new food per week, this is less likely to happen.
