Ingredients
- * 250g green round beans, trimmed, halved diagonally
- * 1 tbs miso paste
- * 2 tbs rice vinegar
- * 1 tbs salt-reduced soy sauce
- * 2 tsp caster sugar
- * 50g (1/3 cup) cornflour
- * 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- * 350g firm tofu, cut into 2.5cm pieces
- * Olive oil spray
- * 100g baby spinach leaves
- * 2 tsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted
- * 300g (2 cups) cooked brown rice, to serve
Directions
-
Cook the beans in a saucepan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold running water. Drain.
-
Place miso paste, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture is combined.
-
Combine the cornflour and pepper on a large plate. Toss tofu in the cornflour mixture to coat. Shake off any excess.
-
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Spray with olive oil spray. Add one-third of the tofu and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining tofu.
-
Divide the spinach and beans among serving plates. Top with the tofu. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and drizzle over the dressing. Serve with rice.
