Sandwiches
It may sound odd to pair fresh tomatoes with soya sauce – but it works! It works beautifully. Imagine the umami of soya sauce and the tartness of tomatoes and the spice of ginger – an explosive experience for the taste buds. Pairing this with old fashioned cream cheese is the final touch that merges the open sandwich and topping with crunchy black sesame seeds not only adds the stark colour but makes me feel pretty intelligent!
This is a great alternative to the traditional bruschetta or an addition to a mixed bruschetta platter. The tomato and soya toast is also a quick recipe that you can make within 15 minutes, and by adding a few extra minutes on creamy scrambled eggs – this is a complete meal for an exhausted dinner.
