2Heat a frying pan over a medium low heat for the caramelised onions.
3Add 1 tbsp of vegan butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil followed by the onions and a pinch of salt to the pan.
4Fry the onions for about 30 minutes until they turn dark brown and jammy, stirring frequently (and adding a splash of water as needed) to avoid them burning.
5Whilst the onions caramelise, heat a large oven-safe frying pan.
6Melt 2 tbsp of vegan butter in the pan then place the cabbage halves cut side down into the pan and fry until evenly charred, applying pressure on top of each wedge to help them along.
7Once properly charred, place the pan with the cabbages into the oven and roast for 25 minutes until softened.
8When the onions have become jammy, remove from the pan to allow them to cool for a few minutes.
9Place the cooled caramelized onions in a blender with 60g vegan butter, 2 tbsp brown miso, 1 tsp white miso, 1 tsp rice wine vinegar, 2 tsp agave, and 0.25 tsp grated ginger to make the miso butter.
10Whiz everything together until you get a smooth paste.
11Remove the cabbage from the oven, leaving them in the pan.
12Flip them over to reveal the charred bottom then brush the miso butter all over, thoroughly covering each half.
13Place back into the oven for another 5 minutes until melted and caramelised.
14Garnish the cabbage halves with plenty of sesame seeds, chopped chives and chilli oil.
15Serve with rice or on the tofu sauce to provide some creaminess to cut through the rich sauce.
