EasyTender slices of beef glazed in a sweet soy and mirin teriyaki sauce and grilled to a caramelised finish.
Ingredients
- 500g fresh salmon fillets
- 1 cup ramen noodles
- a handful of minced garlic
- a pinch of wasabi paste
- 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
- 200g scallions
- a handful of fresh mitsuba, chopped
- bonito flakes, for serving
- 400ml water
- 1 tsp white sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Pat the firm tofu dry, season generously with salt, pepper, and wasabi paste, and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 2
Heat neutral vegetable oil in a wide pan or heavy pot over medium-high heat and sear the firm tofu until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- 3
In the same pan, gently cook the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the cracked black pepper and daikon radish, cooking for a few more minutes so the spices bloom and coat the vegetables.
- 5
Return the firm tofu to the pan, pour in the water, and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
- 6
Cover and cook over low heat until the firm tofu is tender and cooked through, roughly 15 mins.
Tips
•A squeeze of lemon or a final scattering of shiso leaves just before serving brightens up all the deep, slow-cooked flavors.
•Avoid crowding the pan when searing the firm tofu; work in batches so it browns instead of steaming.
