Vegetables and tofu take center stage here, with plenty of savory depth from kombu and soy. Leftover components keep for a day in the fridge, but the finished dish is best eaten fresh.
Method
Whisk the sesame paste, starch and dashi until smooth, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10 to 12 minutes until very thick and glossy.
Pour into a wet mold, smooth the top and chill until set, about 2 hours.
Blend ripe tomatoes, strain the juice and season it with a little dashi and salt.
Cut the sesame tofu into squares, spoon the chilled tomato dashi around it and serve.
Chef's note
Pat vegetables dry before rolling so the nori stays crisp.
