Day five of the series with @sun.and.seed 🌻 — and this time another brilliant brand joins the bowl: @clearspringuk
This salad leans heavily into deep umami and nutty fats, but keeps the ingredient list minimal and intentional.
The base is basmati rice, simple and neutral, letting everything else shine without competing for attention.
For protein: tofu, marinated with flaxseed oil from @sun.and.seed and nori sprinkle from @clearspringuk. The flaxseed oil adds a clean nutty richness while the nori brings that subtle ocean savouriness that works beautifully with soy-based flavours.
Fresh shaved cucumber cuts through the richness and keeps the bowl bright.
Then the dressing ties everything together: black tahini from @sun.and.seed, blended with teriyaki sauce and toasted sesame oil from @clearspringuk, plus a touch of flaxseed oil from @sun.and.seed Nutty, savoury, slightly sweet, and deep in flavour without being heavy.
Finished with furikake from @clearspringuk for that final sesame-seaweed crunch.
Minimal ingredients.
Layered umami.
Protein where it actually matters.
More salads tomorrow. 🥗
