- 1 large Vidalia or New onion (350g)
Niku Miso
- 2 tsp miso paste (10g)
- 2 1/2 tbsp water (38g)
- 2 tsp sake (10ml)
- 1 tsp sugar (4g)
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce (2.5g)
- 1/2 tsp corn starch (1g)
- 1/2 tsp doubanjiang, optional
- 2.8 oz of vegan grounds of choice (75g)
- 1/2 tsp garlic, minced (2g)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (5g)
- 1/2 tsp ginger, minced (2g)
- pinch of pepper
Topping/garnish
- scallions, for topping
- sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Cut the top of the onion and remove the outer skin. Cut the onion to make four segments. Place in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes (depending on the size of your onion). My onions on average are about 380g total and takes about 5 minutes on high.
- In the meantime, make the ‘meat’ miso. Over medium heat, add the vegan mince and garlic and fry for 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, dissolve the miso paste with 2 1/2 tbsp of water. Then whisk in the sake, soy sauce, sake, sugar and potato starch.
- Add the ginger and sesame oil to the mince and fry for another minute.
- Give the miso sauce a quick mix and then pour it over the mince. Cook for about another minute until thickened to desired consistency.
- Stuff the meat miso between the onion segments. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
