Tofu, All the Fixin’s

A tranquil Buddha gazes down on the counter where you order takeout at Zen Grill in Beverly Hills. The food is pan-Asian, ranging from teriyaki sea bass to vegetarian moo shu. We settled on a wakame seaweed and tofu salad that combines wedges of tofu with wakame , which is a black seaweed, and assorted greens, including shiso . Two sauces come with this--a dressing of soy sauce, yuzu juice, olive oil, balsamic and rice vinegars and the juice from pickled ginger goes with the greens. For the tofu, the grill supplies a spicy-sweet peanut sauce, possibly borrowed from the Thai portion of the menu.
