Miso-Maru is made with Miso (fermented soybean paste) and dried ingredients.  You can pre-make batches of Kawaii Miso balls.  Whenever you want to enjoy a bowl of Miso soup, all you have to do is to pour some hot water over it!

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

2. Divide it into 10 portions and roll them into balls.

3. Finish with your favorite coatings and/or toppings.

Coatings/Toppings Ideas:

You can keep them in the fridge for a week, in the freezer for a month.
