• Whisk the vegetable oil with the fish sauce, ginger and garlic in a large bowl; transfer 2 tablespoons to a large resealable plastic bag and add the steak. Turn to coat, then set aside to marinate, 10 minutes. Whisk the rice vinegar into the bowl with the remaining marinade; set aside.
• Meanwhile, microwave the edamame as the label directs. Add the edamame, broccoli slaw and cucumbers to the bowl with the vinegar mixture; toss to coat, then set aside.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and brush with vegetable oil. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the steak and toss to coat, pressing to adhere.

EDAMAME TOFU MUSHIMONO

Steps:

• To make the edamame tofu, combine the edamame, 100 milliliters broth and 50 milliliters water in a blender and puree. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining 100 milliliters broth, agar-agar and 100 milliliters water in a pot and bring to a simmer, stirring to combine and activate the agar. In a cup, combine 50 milliliters water and the gelatin. Add that gelatin solution to the pot; keep the mixture at a simmer. Add the soy milk to the pot. Add the edamame puree to the pot. Keep simmering until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow rectangular 8-by-8-inch dish and let sit until room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• After the tofu has set and is firm, slice it into 16 portions and garnish with tomato, ginger and cilantro leaves. Finish with a drizzle of ponzu, olive oil and flaked sea salt.

• Heat dressing ingredients in your smallest saucepan, simmer for 30 secs, then set aside.

• Brush tofu with the veg oil, season and griddle or grill for 2-3 mins each side - the tofu is very delicate so turn carefully. Top the salad with the tofu, scatter with coriander and serve

CHOPPED SALAD WITH SEASONED TOFU STRIPS

Steps:

• Marinate the tofu: combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger and sugar in a 2-quart bowl. Whisk in the sesame oil and combine well. Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into 1/3-inch thick slabs and cut the slabs in half lengthwise to get strips approximately 1/3 inch thick by 3/4 inch wide. Blot each strip with paper towels. Add to the bowl with the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to an hour, or for up to a day.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment. Lift the tofu out of the marinade and arrange the pieces on the parchment-covered baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and toss with the salad. If desired, transfer to a platter. Garnish with the tofu strips and serve.
