Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 12 ounce block of deep-fried tofu
- 1 ounce ogo, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 2-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 2-3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons Hawaiian sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon shoyu (soy sauce)
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the tofu: Fill a small pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add in the whole block of deep-fried tofu, and let boil for 20 seconds. Remove, drain, and cool. This helps remove the oily flavor that often comes from deep-fried tofu.
