Instructions

Step 1

Make the marinade by mixing together the miso, garlic infused oil, soy sauce, chilli paste and maple syrup. Mix well. Cut the tofu into bite sized pieces and add to the marinade. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 2

30 minutes before you want to eat, place the rice on to cook according to packet instructions.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 190ºC (375ºF) bake function.

Step 4

Make the side salad. Peel and cut the cucumber into chunky sticks. Blanch the green beans in boiling water until bright green and tender. Then drain and refresh by rinsing in cold water. Thinly slice the spring onion tips. Toss the mesculn salad, cucumber, spring onion and green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and orange juice. Season with a couple of grinds of salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Thread the tofu onto skewers (pre-soaked) and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes until caramelized and slightly crisp on the outside. While the tofu cooks, heat the leftover marinade in a small sauce pan until hot.

Step 6

Serve the tofu skewers hot and garnish with sesame seeds. Have the rice and the fresh salad on the side. Drizzle with the leftover miso sauce.
