Simply Ming: Tamari/Olive Oil

This week on "Simply Ming," Chef Ming Tsai introduces tamari, the original soy sauce of Japan, to olive oil, which the ancient Greeks considered to be liquid gold. Using a wheat-free, organic tamari, Ming first prepares a Tamari Marinated Tofu-Cucumber Salad, a perfectly refreshing and safe dish for people with a wheat allergy.

Then, putting a spin on a traditionally French recipe, Ming cooks up Asian Ratatouille with Couscous.

Later, he prepares a New Style Salmon Sashimi, an understated appetizer sure to wow your guests.

Finally, Ming is joined by his parents, Iris and Stephen Tsai, who put the East-West ingredients to work with Tamari Pork and Bell Pepper on Olive Oil-Noodle Cake.
