Make a more exotic Japanese-style hummus with edamame beans and miso, a fermented soybean paste that infuses your appetizer with a unique umami flavor. Miso paste comes in several varieties, each with slightly different flavors: white (milder and sweeter), yellow (rich and full-bodied), and red (rich and nutty). Choose any of these to give the dip its unique flavor, which is perfectly complemented by dark sesame oil, fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, and rice vinegar. Serve the dip with rice crackers and fresh vegetables for dipping.
