Instructions

  • Whisk miso with maple syrup, vinegar and sesame seeds in a bowl. Slice tofu into 16 strips. Cut avocado in half, discard pit, scoop flesh from peel and slice. Peel long ribbons from carrots.
  • Lay a damp kitchen towel on counter. Fill a pie plate with warm water and place beside towel. Line up ingredients.
