With the three simple ingredients of miso, orange juice and a fat, this is a versatile base to build in other layers of flavors with spices and herbs as showcased in this dish. The combination of vegetables in this dish range from delicate to firm, so allowing this dish to marinate for a few hours will ensure best final results.
To prepare the sauce, in a high–speed blender, combine the citrus juice, olive oil, miso, tamari, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Blend until smooth.
In large bowl, toss all of the vegetables together with the chopped fresh herbs. After a quick toss, remove a small amount of the bean sprouts and herbs and set aside for garnish.
Toss the sauce and vegetable mixture for another minute then let sit for about an hour at room temperature so the vegetables can marinate and soften.
Serve with Raw Noodles or cooked grains.
