Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 5g ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 450g pack Jumbo Asparagus
- 250g pack microwaveable Kenji Sushi Rice
- 150g pack organic silken tofu, cut into cubes

Method
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp oil, the miso, lemon juice, maple syrup (or agave) and grated ginger. Add a splash of water to loosen, if needed, then set aside.
Set a large frying or griddle pan over a high heat. Toss the asparagus with the remaining ½ tbsp oil, then add to the smoking-hot pan. Leave for a minute, then cook for 5-8 minutes, tossing from time to time until charred and tender; season with salt. Meanwhile, heat the rice according to pack instructions.
Spoon the rice into bowls, top with the tofu and asparagus, then drizzle with the miso-ginger dressing. Finish with shichimi togarashi (or toasted sesame seeds) and crispy fried onions, if liked.
Cook’s tip
White miso
Miso is a fermented soya-bean paste that’s frequently found in Japanese cooking. Rich in umami, it can be used for miso soup, added to marinades or blended with butter to serve on grilled vegetables.
