  • 15.90 gm soy sauce
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar

  • Cut tofu into bite-sized 2.5cm pieces. Trim and diagonally slice asparagus. Combine tofu and asparagus with pumpkin. Roast for 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the vinegar and sesame oil to the miso mixture. Mix well. Combine half of the green onion and half of the almonds with the cooked rice. Place the rice and pumpkin mixtures on a serving plate. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with the remaining green onion and almonds. Serve.
