Miso Glazed Aubergine, Mushroom & Tofu Bowl (Ve)

This miso-glazed aubergine, mushroom and tofu dish is healthy and packed full of umami-flavours. Both sweet and savoury with ginger, sesame and chilli packing a punch.

An easy, super-tasty vegan dinner that the whole family will love, perfect for any night of the week.

Cooking aubergine so it is not oily is a skill and we're here to help. Adding miso provides a umami element as well as the health benefit of protein. Here we've used white miso, though there are other varieties of miso, it is versatile and provides fantastic flavour to transform dishes into a taste sensation.

This dish is outrageously delicious and just happens to be vegan.
