Miso - soya bean paste - also used in Chinese and Japanese cooking - most "English" supermarkets in UK stock this sort of thing, so it should not be hard to find in US (but not at Walmart - I just searched there) - just look in the "Oriental" section at you local supermarket - HTH

It might sound complicated but it is not.
