To prepare the marinated tofu, mix the tofu (chopped into small cubes) with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the tofu in the fridge and wait at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours) before cooking it. If you are in a hurry, you can skip this step and simply mix the tofu with the other ingredients and cook it right away.

Prepare the salad with the mixed leaves and the finely chopped pepper.

4

In a small bowl, mix the freshly grated ginger, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds.

Combine all the ingredients together and serve with a pinch of black pepper. Add the dressing just before serving. Use some extra sesame oil if necessary.
