  We construct an asymmetric bouncing scenario within the VCDM model - also
known as type-II minimally modified gravity -, a modified gravity theory with
two local physical degrees of freedom. The scenario is exempt of any ghost or
gradient instability, ad-hoc matching conditions or anisotropic stress issue
(BKL instability). It moreover succeeds in generating the cosmological
perturbations compatible with the observations. The scalar spectral index can
be adapted by the choice of the equation of state of the matter sector and the
form of the VCDM potential leading to an almost scale-invariant power spectrum.
Satisfying the CMB bounds on the tensor-to-scalar ratio leads to a blue tensor
spectrum.
