Tofu Beans
I love this recipe because it’s ready in 20 minutes and so easy! It's great served with a spring onion pancake (the ones from the freezer section in asian supermarkets), but it’s equally delicious without.

What ingredients do you need for this dish (includes possible substitutions)?
Sesame oil: I love the flavour of sesame oil but you can use whatever you want!
Garlic: add as much as you want :)
White miso: essential to the recipe!
Cannellini beans: you can use whatever your favourite white bean is here.
Dark soy sauce: I’ve added a bit of dark soy for colour and slight seasoning, if you don’t have dark soy sauce then you can add some light soy, but add a bit less (start with 1/2 tsp), because it’s saltier!
Silken tofu: I love the texture of silken tofu here but you could use whatever your preference is.
