Ingredients

• Fresh sashimi-grade salmon - 100 grams
• Fresh sashimi-grade tuna - 100 grams
• Firm tofu - 150 grams
• Chicken breast - 150 grams
• Mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, lettuce) - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1 medium, sliced
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Green onion - 2, chopped
• Nori seaweed - 1 sheet, shredded
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
2. In a pan over medium heat, cook the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. While the tofu is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
4. Prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, and avocado in a large bowl.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
6. Add the cooked tofu and sliced chicken to the salad bowl, then drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
7. Plate the salad, and arrange the sashimi slices of salmon and tuna on top.
8. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onion, and shredded nori before serving.
