Base

Miso glaze

Sesame greens

Method

1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the tofu into slabs about a half inch thick and lay them on a lined sheet pan.
2
Whisk the miso, maple, rice vinegar and half the sesame oil. Brush most of it over the tofu and roast until the glaze caramelizes, brushing with the rest halfway.
3
Meanwhile, stir-fry the broccoli in the rest of the sesame oil for 4 minutes, add the garlic, spinach and edamame, and toss with the soy sauce until the spinach wilts.
4
Divide the rice, greens and tofu between 4 boxes and finish with green onion.

Storage

Keeps 5 days in the fridge. The whole box freezes well for 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.

Good to know

Miso burns fast. If the edges darken before the time is up, drop the oven to 400°F.
