Shiso (pronounced "she-so") is the Japanese name for an annual herb called Perilla, which belongs to the mint family. Shiso comes in green or purple leaves with a slightly prickly texture and pointy, jagged edges, and it has a unique and vibrant taste that I could describe as herbaceous and citrusy.

Before serving, carefully lift tofu from pan and pat dry with paper towels.

1. For the dressing: mix on the liquids together. With the shiso leaves, get them into a pile, roll them up and finely chop on the diagonal (chiffonade). You may need to do some additional chopping. Add half of the chopped shiso to the dressing and combine. Save the rest to use as a garnish.
2. Heat the oil in a shallow pan - medium/high heat. Add the shallots and sauté for a few minutes. Add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for another minute.
3. Add the cucumber and daikon. Sauté for a minute or so.
