Sesame Miso Appetiser

Method

1. 1

   Whisk together miso, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and dashi until smooth. Taste — the dressing should be tangy, savoury, and lightly sweet.

2. 2

   Drain the silken tofu carefully. Cut into neat 4cm × 2cm rectangles using a wet knife (prevents sticking).

3. 3

   Spoon a small pool of miso dressing onto each plate. Place two tofu rectangles alongside.

4. 4

   Drizzle additional dressing over the tofu. Scatter black sesame and shiso chiffonade.

5. 5

   Serve immediately — silken tofu weeps quickly once plated.
