broccoli and miso

a good post-yoga or post-workout meal. light yet filling and most importantly, delicious. to make it even more protein rich, you can add cooked or sprouted chickpeas, lentils. marinated tempeh would work really well too.

steamed broccoli, zucchini, sea asparagus salad with tamari tofu and creamy orange-miso dressing

1 head broccoli, florets separated
1 handful sea asparagus, or regular asparagus (whatever you have on hand)
1 small yellow zucchini, shredded length wise (to make pretty long ribbons)
0.5 avocado, cut into crescents
0.5 head red lettuce
0.3 block of tofu, diced
1T sesame oil
1T tamari
pinch of cayenne

steam broccoli and sea/asparagus for less than 5 mins
wash and dry lettuce leaves
fry tofu in the sesame oil, turning to ensure that all sides are evenly cooked and lightly browned, pour the tamari over it and let the tofu absorb it. turn off the heat.

arrange the veggies on a bed of lettuce, topping with the tofu and a pinch of cayenne and the orange miso dressing (see recipe below).
