Negi Miso Don (Minced Meat and Miso Rice Bowl)

• 200 g minced pork or beef
• 200 g tofu
• 1 Japanese leek or green onion
• 1 Tbsp miso
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp sake
• 1 Tbsp sweet flour paste (tian mian jiang)
• 1 tsp each grated garlic and ginger
• 2 cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp olive oil

1. Chop the leek into small pieces and put in a bowl.
2. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and let sit to soak up the water from the tofu for half an hour.
3. Mix the miso, soy sauce, sugar, sake, and sweet flour paste.
4. Pour 1 tsp of olive oil into a frying pan, and once hot, add the grated garlic and ginger.
5. When it starts to smell nice, add the minced meat and fry on medium heat.
6. When the meat has browned, add the leek and continue cooking.
7. When the leak becomes soft, add the tofu.
8. When you add the tofu, break off pieces with your hands, and chop it roughly into smaller pieces, like the minced pork, using a wooden spatula.
9. Next add the mixed sauce to the frying pan.
10. Mix and cook well until the sauce has reduced.
11. It usually takes about 5 to 10 min on medium to low heat.
12. Finally, prepare a bowl of cooked rice and put the cooked meat on the rice.
13. If you wish, garnish with cherry tomatoes and enjoy!
