Can chick pea miso be substituted for white miso in recipes...for example, in Alissa's sour cream?
Thank you.

Raw White Miso
I was wondering the same thing myself. I have responded to this thread in order to bring it back up in the list. If anyone has an answer to Smileen's question, then please respond.

America's First Premium Organic Mellow White Miso
Actually I did find unpasteurized white miso today at the health food store. It was America's First Premium Organic Mellow White Miso.
Is this stuff healthy, as I do like it. As a vegan, I used to eat the red miso in my japanese soups.
This is not raw though, it is living. I am assuming this "living" miso contains enzymes that are beneficial to us, just as "raw" foods are.

Alissa's sour cream
Oh, on the subject of Alissa's sour cream. It was a great recipe, but it just didn't do the trick for me. The raw vinegar just takes over even though it only called for a small amount. Also, the grainy texture of cashews just didn't sit right with my pallet. I tried blending it into oblivion, but that didn't really help.
Honestly though, the only place I ever need sour cream was on baked potatoes or vegan tacos. Since I don't eat that stuff anymore, I really don't have a need for sour cream. When I was eating it, I was buying "Sour Supreme" vegan sour cream. It was very good.
That brings me to another point. I think a lot of the recipes may take time to adjust to before you like them. When we are born into a cooked food world, we end up growing up on stuff like dairy sour cream. So we develop a certain taste for things and it takes time to adjust to something different. Like when I first started eating the "Sour Supreme", it tasted weird to me. But after a while, I started liking it. I would even put it on my vegan black bean tacos.

You can substitute any color miso for each other in a recipe. You need to remember, that the darker misos are more flavorful. Also, if a dish calls for white miso because it will be light in color, and you substitute a darker miso, then the end result will be a darker sauce. Does that make sense?

To my knowledge, white miso IS chickpea miso.

I stand corrected. Apparently, they aren't one and the same http://www.soya.be/miso-varieties.php, although I use them interchangeably.
