ingredients

2 Servings
150 g Brown rice
300 g Firm tofu
200 g Broccoli florets
150 g Carrots, julienned
150 g Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
100 g Fresh spinach
3 tbsp White miso paste
700 ml Vegetable broth
2 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
2.5 cm Fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Sesame oil
2 stalks Spring onions, sliced (for garnish)
1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps

1

Prepare Rice and Tofu

Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, press the tofu, cut it into cubes, then pan-fry in hot sesame oil until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

3

Make Miso Broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and tamari sauce. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the miso paste with a little warm broth, then add it to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4

Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Divide the cooked rice into two bowls, then ladle the miso soup with vegetables and crispy tofu over it. Garnish with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Extra Tips

Don't forget to press the tofu thoroughly to make it crispier when frying!

Experiment with other vegetables like bok choy or sweet potatoes to make your bowl even more varied.

A pinch of chili flakes can add an extra spicy kick if you like it hot!
