Miso is a savoury paste made from fermented soya beans. It’s a good source of B vitamins and you can also make a hot drink from it by stirring a teaspoon into a mug of boiling water.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp miso paste dissolved in 2 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2½ cm root ginger (approx 30g)

  • 6 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 50g fresh or frozen green soya (edamame) beans
  • 50g cashews, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

        Method

        1. Mix the tomato purée into the warm miso.
        2. Grate the ginger coarsely, gather up the grated ginger and squeeze the juice into the miso mixture.
        3. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large wok and stir fry the vegetables, beans and nuts for 5 minutes.
