Background
This buckwheat and tofu salad is a healthy, gluten-free dish, perfect for lunch or a light supper. You could serve a green salad or some steamed greens (such as green beans, broccoli, kale etc) on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat
- 2 cups water
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 150g hard tofu
- 1 red onion
- 1 red pepper
- 2 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Mirin
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley or coriander
Instructions
- Put the buckwheat, water and stock cube in a pan. Bring to the boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the water has completely absorbed. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the red pepper and cut the onion into thin wedges.
- Cut the tofu into 2cm cubes.
- Put all in a baking dish, pour over the sesame oil, mirin, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Toss well, then bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Alternatively, use an air fryer, set to 15 minutes.
- When the pepper and onion pieces are tender, the tofu looks golden, transfer them to a serving bowl including any cooking jus from the pan.
- Add the buckwheat and toss gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Fold in the parsley and serve.
