Introduction
A refreshing and healthy side dish that is easy to make—simply slice and marinate. It features a Japanese-Western fusion flavor based on shiro-dashi (white soy sauce). It tastes even better when chilled, making it perfect for meal prep.
Step 1
Cut the onion in half and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
Step 2
Spread the sliced onions on a tray or similar surface and let sit exposed to air for about 1 hour to remove the sharp bite. (After 30 minutes, stir them once to mix top and bottom.)
Step 3
Wash the shiso leaves, pat them dry, remove the stems, then roll them up and cut into thin strips (julienne).
Step 4
Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the stems, slice into approx. 1cm widths, and place in a storage container.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, water, shiro-dashi, honey, salt, and olive oil, and mix well to make the marinade.

Important Notes
💡 Slicing the onion against the grain and exposing it to air allows you to remove the sharp bite without rinsing in water, preserving its nutrients.
💡 You can enjoy a different flavor by using sesame oil (approx. 2 teaspoons) instead of olive oil.
💡 Mixing once during the marinating process helps the flavors penetrate evenly.
💡 Adding the shiso leaves as a finishing touch (just before serving) enhances their aroma.
