Ingredients
- 2 tomatoes (500 g, 17.6 oz)
- 2 myoga ginger (17 g, 0.6 oz; you can substitute 2 thin slices of ginger, preferably mild-flavored young ginger)
For the Dressing
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Cut 2 tomatoes into wedges and cut each wedge into 2–3 pieces (depending on the size of the tomato).
- Remove the stem end of 2 myoga ginger and slice it diagonally into thin pieces. If you are using regular ginger, cut the 2 thin slices into julienned strips and soak in water for 5 minutes. This will help remove the strong gingery taste.
- Put the tomatoes and myoga in a medium bowl. Add 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned), 1 tsp soy sauce, and ½ tsp sugar.
- Add 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds and toss all together to coat with the dressing. It is more refreshing when it’s chilled for at least 15–30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the Tomato Myoga Salad individually or in a large serving bowl. Enjoy!
