  1. POPPING SEEDS

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until they begin to pop, shifting regularly. Remove from the pan on completion.

  2. FRYING FRENZY

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tofu chunks and the trimmed mushrooms and fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on some paper towel.

  3. MISO Polenta

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat. Pour in 500ml of boiling water and add ½ a tsp of salt. Once boiling, slowly whisk in the Polenta and the miso paste, stirring constantly until there are no lumps. Reduce to a low heat and cook for 5-8 minutes, whisking often, until the polenta is soft and the texture is thick and creamy. Turn the heat to the lowest setting, stir in a knob of butter (optional), some seasoning and cover to keep warm until serving.

  4. ALMOST THERE

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the grated Garlic and the spring onion whites. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add in the trimmed broccoli and a splash of water. Fry for 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is starting to brown. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, the sesame oil and 40ml of water. Reduce the heat and bring up to a slow simmer. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli has softened slightly and the sauce has reduced by half. Add in the fried mushrooms and tofu and simmer for a further 1-2 minutes until heated through.

  5. WOWZERS!

    Make a bed of the creamy miso Polenta. Top with the saucy broccoli, mushrooms and tofu. Pour over any remaining sauce. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, the chilli flakes (to taste) and the spring onion greens. Restaurant-style, Chef!
