1.   Wrap tofu with a piece of paper towel and microwave it for one minute (high).Let it cool: squeeze the paper towel and drain excess water very well.
2.   Put tofu and meat in a big bowl.Put the other ingredients (preped as directed).Get your hands dirty! Mix them really well.
3.   Heat (medium heat) a frying pan with oil.Divide the mixture in four, and form four-round patties.
4.   Line them on the heated frying pan, and put a lid on.Cook in mid heat: after 5 minutes, flip them over. Cook 3 minutes more, with a lid.
5.   To check the doneness, press one of the patties with a spatula, and if you see clear juice coming out, it's done.
6.   While the steaks are cooking, roll up shiso leaves and cut them into very thin strips.Put next three ingredients into a microwavable bowl, and heat up the mixture for 1 minute in high.
7.   To serve: pour the mixture over the steaks and put julienne shiso leaves on top of them for flavour and good presentation.
