Ingredients

• White Miso - 100 grams
• Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) - 30 grams
• Mirin - 2 tablespoons
• Soy Sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Broccoli - 200 grams, cut into florets
• Carrot - 1 medium, sliced
• Spinach - 100 grams, washed
• Cooked Brown Rice - 150 grams

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine the white miso, katsuobushi, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Heat over low heat until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 5 minutes.
2. While the sauce is heating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and carrot slices, and blanch for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and tender. Remove the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3. In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the spinach for 1 minute, then transfer it to the ice water as well. Drain all vegetables and set aside.
4. To serve, place a portion of cooked brown rice on each plate. Arrange the blanched vegetables on top of the rice and drizzle the katsuobushi miso sauce generously over everything.
