Ingredients:
- 200g Mori-Nu silken tofu

- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tofu: Drain the Mori-Nu silken tofu and cut it into small cubes. Place the tofu cubes on a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Chop the Tomatoes: Wash and cut the tomatoes into wedges or bite-sized pieces.
- Toast the Sesame Seeds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (if using), and minced garlic. Mix well.
- Assemble the Salad: In a serving bowl, gently combine the tofu cubes and tomato pieces. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the salad.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately as a light meal or side dish.
