Enjoy a dinner that's packed with flavour in every bite. From a miso-infused sweet and savoury glaze on tasty Japanese tofu to buttery garlic rice and sautéed veggies, this bowl is a medley of flavour, colour and texture.
The recent harsh weather conditions have impacted the cucumbers/zucchinis grown by our farmers. The quality and freshness is still the same, but they may be a little smaller than usual.

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and the salt, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, trim the baby broccoli and cut into thirds, slicing any thicker stalks in half. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Cut the Japanese tofu into 1cm cubes. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste (see ingredients), rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, water (for the sauce) and mixed sesame seeds. In a second small bowl, combine the Japanese dressing and mayonnaise.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the baby broccoli, carrot and then a dash of water and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the tofu, tossing, until golden, 2 minutes. Add the miso glaze and cook, stirring, until well coated and thickened slightly, 1 minute.
Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). When the rice is done, stir through the sesame oil (if using).
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the miso glazed tofu, cucumber, baby broccoli and carrot. Spoon over the Japanese mayonnaise and sprinkle with chilli.
