The beauty of this is that not only can it be made in advance, but

it must be made ahead of time.

 

Use extra firm tofu. I like to marinate mine so it's tastier. This

recipe lends itself well to a small amount of ginger powder or

grated fresh ginger. Also, I use 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil and then

add olive oil to make 1/3 cup. You can skip the oil and vinegar and

use a soy " mayonnaise. "
