CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOY, GINGER AND GARLIC
The trick to any sliced cucumber salad is to slice the cucumbers as thin as you can and to purge them by salting them before making the salad so the dressing doesn't get watered down by the cucumber juice.

Tips:
- To make the perfect hard-boiled egg, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan and remove from heat. Let stand for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want your eggs.
- For a more flavorful tofu, press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water and allow the tofu to absorb more of the marinade.
- If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you can steam the tofu in a colander set over a pot of boiling water.
- To make the sesame sauce, simply whisk together the sesame paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more or less water.
- Serve the tofu and cucumber salad immediately, or chill it for later.
