Black Rice Salad Bowl with Roast Eggplant and Miso Dressing

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

We start by steaming a mixture of brown and black rice, roasting eggplant until golden brown and steaming edamame with green chilli, spring onions and sesame oil. The dressing is a sweet, tangy, creamy blend of miso, ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil and mirin. All delicious, all super-healthy. But in our opinion, the salad's crowning glory are the crunchy bits to go on top: cashews and pepitas that we've coated in tamari and roasted.
