• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 tomatoes (500 g, 17.6 oz) 500 17.6

2 myoga ginger (17 g, 0.6 oz; you can substitute 2 thin slices of ginger, preferably mild-flavored young ginger) 17 0.6 2

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)

1 tsp soy sauce

½ tsp sugar

1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds

Directions

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!
