Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 240Ā°C/220Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. ā¢ Place sweet potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. ā¢ Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the sweet potato between two trays.
ā¢ Meanwhile, thinly slice apple/pear into wedges. ā¢ Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. ā¢ Slice lemon into wedges. ā¢ Cut Japanese tofu into 2cm chunks.
ā¢ In a small heatproof bowl, microwave garlic paste (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil in 10 second bursts until fragrant. ā¢ To garlic oil, add miso paste, the honey, a good squeeze of lemon juice and sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
ā¢ While sweet potato is cooling, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook tofu, tossing, until browned, 3-4 minutes. ā¢ In the last minute of cook time, add sweet chilli sauce, the low sodium soy sauce and a splash of water, tossing to coat.
ā¢ In a large bowl, combine roasted sweet potato, apple/pear, cucumber, mixed salad leaves and miso dressing. Season to taste.
ā¢ Divide sesame miso salad between bowls. ā¢ Top with Japanese glazed tofu, crispy shallots and pickled ginger. ā¢ Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
