NOTES : In order for this mayonnaise to be smooth without grittiness and similar

in texture to " regular " mayonnaise, you must use " soft " tofu which can be found

packaged in water in the refrigerator case of a supermarket or health food

store. If you use firm tofu, the mayonnaise is gritty and requires extra oil;

if you use silken, it comes out more " saucelike " . It will keep only about 5

days in the refrigerator.
