Avocado-Miso-Mushroom Bowl

Ingredients for Avocado-Miso-Mushroom Bowl

• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil or extra-virgin olive oil

• 1450ml thinly sliced mixed mushrooms: shiitake, maitake, buna-shimeji, or your fave mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon mirin

• 950ml cooked grains: your choice of brown rice, freekeh, farro, or quinoa

• 4 cups packed fresh greens, such as rocket or finely chopped kale leaves (reserve 3 cups for the salad, 1 cup for topping)

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced

• 2 teaspoons crushed gomashio, for topping

• 2 tablespoons organic miso paste

• 45ml tahini paste

• 60ml plus 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

In a large sauté pan, warm the sesame oil or extra-virgin olive oil over medi­um heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the tamari and sauté for 2 minutes more. Deglaze the pan with the mirin to release the bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Using a spatula, stir in the grains and fully coat. Add the mushrooms and 3 cups of the greens, and gently fold to coat well with the dressing. Top with the avocado, reserved greens, and gomashio.
