Miso-Glazed Double Tofu & Garlic Rice Bowl

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, the water (for the glaze) 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. Cook the baby broccoli and carrot with a dash of water, tossing occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

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 mixture and cook, stirring, until the tofu is well coated and the glaze is slightly thickened, 1 minute.

TIP: Cook the tofu in batches for best results!

Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). When the rice is ready, stir through the sesame oil (if using).
