Ingredients

soybeans

Mature soybeans are harvested once the pod has grown for roughly 100 days and the bean becomes dry. Soybeans are small and round with a creamy golden-tan color. They are a legume and extremely versatile. Soybeans are used to make tofu, flour, oil, sauces and much more. The dry soybean is hard until cooked. The flavor is bland and mild.

rice

Rice is a grain that is used across the world. It is roughly 5mm in length and white. Some varieties of rice are thin, while others are more rounded and fat. Rice is a starch and when uncooked it is dry and hard. Many of these tiny grains are needed to make one serving size. White rice has the hull, bran and cereal germ removed. When cooked, rice becomes soft while still holding its form. The flavor of rice is mild, and bland. It goes well as a side dish to spicier items and is incredibly versatile as an appetizer, main course and even dessert.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

yeast

Onion bagels are individual serving sized, ring shaped breads, roughly the size of a donut. They are made from a yeasted dough. The outside of the bagel is covered in small, savory onion pieces.

koji culture

Koji culture is cooked rice and/or soybeans that have been inoculated with a fermentation culture. It has a rich umami taste and is used to ferment miso, soy sauce, and sake.
