Well, she didn’t exactly say what kind of miso to use but in the picture its looks like its White Miso. White miso has a lesser amount of salt then the red miso so I recommend using the white miso. In my original recipe I don’t use miso paste because with the bacon (I instead pork I use bacon)it already gives it a salty flavor and I only use a little soy sauce. I guess it depends on your taste buds and opinions but you have to try and see which one you like best. Let me know how your goya champuru comes out and if you could by any chance send me some pictures I would be more than happy and would like to post some on my blog.
I hope this helped,
Chiaki
