Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, cilantro leaves, mirin, garlic, coriander, and sugar. Add a little olive oil and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a blender and, while blending, gradually pour in the olive oil in a thin stream. At the same time, add 1 tablespoon of ice flakes to thicken the sauce.

Step 3

Slice all the tomatoes into evenly thick rounds and arrange them beautifully on a platter, with the larger ones on the bottom and the smaller ones on top.
