Notes
- Substitute: Grate ginger would add a little flavor, but you can omit it if you don’t have it.
- Storage: 3 days in the fridge.
- There is no need to press the tofu as the hijiki absorbs the water contained in the tofu.
- If the mixture doesn’t come together, try adding some panko to bind them.
- The seasoning is light, so eat them with a sauce such as a teriyaki sauce, ketchup, or Worcestershire sauce.
