Ingredients
  

Miso Bowl Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked brown basmati rice
  • 1/2 cup precooked edamame reheated if needed
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup frozen roasted corn reheated
  • 1/2 cup sliced Persian cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup pickled red cabbage
  • 1/2 block baked tofu cubed; store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup miso paste
  • 2 tbsp liquid aminos
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup water to thin dressing

Method
 

Miso Bowl Assembly
  1. Cook brown basmati rice according to package instructions or use leftover rice.
  2. Reheat frozen corn and precooked edamame briefly in a skillet.
  3. Slice Persian cucumbers, radishes and shred carrots. Keep pickled cabbage ready.
  4. Press tofu to remove excess water, cube, lightly season, and bake until golden edges form.
  5. Prepare dressing by whisking miso paste with liquid aminos and lemon juice until smooth. Add minced garlic, ginger, sriracha, agave, toasted sesame oil, and water to reach a pourable consistency.
  6. Assemble bowls starting with a base of brown rice. Arrange reheated edamame, roasted corn, shredded carrots, sliced radishes, cucumbers, and pickled cabbage in sections.
  7. Place baked tofu on top and drizzle generously with miso-sesame dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds or lemon wedge if desired.

Notes

  • Use leftover rice to save time.
  • Keep fragile vegetables separate until serving to maintain crunch.
