Background

This Japanese-style runner bean salad is very easy and tasty, the perfect side dish with sushi or for your bento box. It tastes much better if you let it marinate for a couple of hours.

Ingredients

150g sliced runner beans
4 salad onions
4 radishes
2 tsp sesame seeds
To serve: soft tofu (optional)
For the dressing:
1.5 Tbsp soya sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp Miso paste
Pinch of sugar or a little honey
1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

Steam or blanch the runner beans for 3-5 minutes, until tender, then drain.
Meanwhile, mix the dressing in a small bowl.
Slice the radishes and salad onions.
Put the beans in a bowl, add the radish and spring onion pieces, then pour over the dressing.
Combine gently and let it rest for a minimum of 10 minutes, before serving.
Crumble some tofu on the top if you like, just before serving.
