Ingredients

  • 150g silken tofu
  • 100g edamame beans
  • 80g brown rice (dry weight)
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method

  1. Cook the brown rice according to its packet instructions.
  2. Cook the edamame beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain.
  3. Mix the miso paste and soy sauce with a tablespoon of hot water to make a dressing.
  4. Cut the silken tofu gently into cubes; it is too delicate to fry. Arrange the rice, edamame and tofu in a bowl, spoon over the dressing and scatter with sesame seeds.

Making it ahead

Cool it, get it into the fridge within one to two hours and eat it within two days; freeze portions you will not reach in time. Cooked rice is stricter: chill it within an hour, keep it for a day at most and reheat it only once. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through. How we handle food safety.
