INGREDIENTS (SERVES 2)
- 1 garlic clove
- 15g fresh root ginger
- 8g soy sauce
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 200g pak choi
- 150g spring greens
- 280g plain tofu
- 15ml mirin
- 5g black sesame seed
- 80g blanched edamame beans
METHOD
Step 1: Boil half a kettle. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with kitchen paper, then cut the tofu into cubes.
Step 2: Rip the leaves off the spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips.
Step 3: Cut the pak choi in half, separating the white bases and green tops. Then cut the white bases into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4: Put the edamame beans in a bowl and cover with boiled water.
Step 5: Add the miso paste and mirin to a small bowl with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and mix until smooth – this is your miso glaze.
Step 6: Peel and finely slice (don’t chop!) the garlic and peel and finely chop the ginger into batons.
Step 7: Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 min or until browned all over and starting to crisp
Step 8: Meanwhile, heat a separate wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shredded spring greens and pak choi bases and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to wilt.
Step 9: Drain, then add the edamame beans, pak choi tops and chopped ginger and garlic to the greens and cook for a further 2-3 min or until fragrant and everything is tender with a bite.
Step 10: Add the soy sauce and give everything a good mix up – these are your stir-fried ginger greens.
Step 11: Once the tofu is golden, add the miso glaze and cook for 2-3 min or until the sauce has coated the tofu and starting to caramelise.
Step 12: Sprinkle over the black sesame seeds and serve the miso tofu with the stir-fried ginger greens to the side. Get in!
