STEP 1
Tofu: Drain tofu. Cut each block in half and press out excess water using kitchen paper. Then dice in 1.5 mm slices. Mix tamari, miso, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Whisk well. Coat tofu with marinade and let marinate for 20 minutes. Spread tofu on a lined baking tray and roast at 200˙C for 12 minutes.
STEP 2
Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in saucepan and whisk. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for 3-4 mins to reduce. In a bowl, whisk together arrowroot and water to make slurry, making sure there are no clumps. Add to saucepan, whilst continuing to whisk. Simmer for a final 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
STEP 3
Rice: In a bowl, combine cooked rice with spring onions, coriander, salt and sesame oil.
STEP 4
Veg: Add steamed broccoli, steamed peppers and fresh pineapple cubes to a bowl. Add sesame oil and a pinch of salt, and mix to combine.
STEP 5
Garnish: Toast cashews and sesame seeds until golden, at 170˚C for 6 minutes.
