This simple vegan side dish might take only minutes to prepare, but it will easily steal the show. Blanched green beans are dressed in an umami-rich mix of miso, white balsamic vinegar, sugar and oil, resulting in a fresh and moreish little salad.
Drain the beans and place in iced water to chill, then drain again and keep in the fridge until needed

To make the dressing, combine the miso, vinegar and caster sugar, stirring well so the sugar dissolves. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously, until emulsified
In a large mixing bowl, mix the green beans with the dressing and finely chopped shallot, then toss to combine. Divide the beans between 4 serving plates (or 1 large serving bowl, if preferred), then add the cubes of soy cheese (if using). Drizzle with a little more olive oil, add a pinch of salt, then garnish with a pinch of chopped chives and a few shallot rings on top
A traditionally trained Japanese chef, Masaki's creative flair meant moving away from the strict culinary rules of his home country to create a fusion-led approach to modern Japanese food in London.
