  • Yields: 4 servings (½ cup miso brown rice and 1 cup roasted vegetables)

Ingredients

Miso Brown Rice:

1 cup brown rice, dry

2 cups water

4 teaspoons yellow miso paste

Roasted Vegetables:

1 small head of purple cabbage, cut into ½ inch cubes

1 small zucchini, cut into ½ inch cubes

1 small head of cauliflower, cut into medium-sized florets

1 small head of broccoli, cut into medium-sized florets

2 tablespoons olive oil (split in recipe)

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Pinch of salt

Miso Dressing (optional):

4 teaspoons yellow miso paste

¼ cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey*

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

½ teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)

Directions

Miso Rice

1.Wash hands with soap and warm water.

2.Place rice, water and miso paste in a medium saucepan over high heat, stir.

3.When water comes to a boil, lower heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 40 minutes.

4.Turn off heat and leave lid on for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Roasted Vegetables

1.Wash hands with soap and warm water. Wash produce well and chop as directed.

2.Place two oven racks 3-4 inches apart and preheat oven to 375 °F.

3.Toss together cabbage and zucchini with one tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.

4.Repeat Step 3 with cauliflower and broccoli. Place on a second lined baking sheet.

5.Place baking sheets in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until vegetables are tender yet firm. (For best results, stir vegetables halfway through cooking and watch the separate batches, as one may cook faster than the other.)

6.Once cooked, remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Miso Dressing

1.Wash hands well with soap and warm water.

2.While rice and vegetables are cooking, prepare dressing by placing all ingredients into a medium bowl and whisking until well combined.

Assembling Miso Bowl
