Ingredients

  • 180g tofu
  • 120g jasmine rice
  • 80g cucumber
  • 80g carrots
  • 15g miso paste
  • 5g ginger
  • 5g honey
  • 3g sesame oil
  • 5g sesame seeds

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cucumber and carrot, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the jasmine rice with 1.5 parts water, covered, for 12 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Press the tofu for 10 minutes, cut into cubes and air-fry or pan-fry until golden and crisp on all sides (about 12 minutes).

  4. 4

    Whisk the miso, grated ginger, honey and sesame oil with a tablespoon of warm water. Brush over the protein and drizzle the rest over the bowl.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cucumber and carrot for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: jasmine rice first, then the veg and crispy tofu, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the sesame seeds.
