Fancy simple stuff.




- 2 king oyster mushrooms
- 200g tofu
- one small broccoli head
- one small onion
- one clove garlic
- 1 tblsp shiro miso
- soy sauce
- olive oil
- pepper
- salt


Cut the broccoli into florets and cook in water with some salt. While the broccoli is cooking cut the piece of tofu into small cubes, dice finely the onion, slice the mushrooms and smash the clove of garlic. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a pan and first add the tofu. When the tofu begins to get slighlty golden-brown add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Stir from time to time until tofu is brown and crispy. Deglaze with some soy sauce and season with a tiny amount of pepper.
In a small bowl prepare the dressing for the broccoli: mix the tblsp miso with some hot water and 1 tsp olive oil. 
Cook the broccoli only for a few minutes until it gets soft but not wibbly-wobbly. Strain it. Then toss the broccoli into the miso dressing. I had some arugula left and tossed it in, too.
Serve tofu-mushroom mix with the broccoli and add some of the dressing.
Very hearty and umami but light and fresh though.

King oyster mushrooms with chard and tofu



150g king oyster mushrooms (oyster mushrooms will do to, but they taste different)
500g chard
200g firm tofu
soy sauce
pepper, salt, vegetable broth
1 tblsp olive oil

Cut the tofu into small triangles and marinade with soy sauce (about 2-3 tblsp). Heat 1tbslp olive oil in a pan and add the tofu. Fry till tofu starts to turn golden. In the meanwhile cut the white chard stems into bite size and add, stirring frequently. Stack the green chard leaves, roll them up and cut into strips, add them to tofu and chard stems, stir. If all seems to dry, add only a few splashes water. After 2 minutes add the mushrooms, cut into slizes. Stir well, add fresh ground pepper, a little salt and a little vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 3-5 minutes, remove the lid and let cook for another minute, before serving. Full of proteins from mushrooms and tofu, the chard has a lot of vitamin K, A and E as well as magnesium, potassium and iron. You could serve this with rice or potatoes, but it's also totally fine on it's own! This is a fast, healthy and full of flavour dish which is very easy to prepare.
