Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and roast over medium-high heat until well browned, about 6 minutes.

Add the napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and scallions, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the dashi, wasabi, miso paste and mirin for 2 minutes.

Cook the short-grain rice separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the tofu simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the short-grain rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
