NOTES
The beauty of Tofu Rice Salad is that not only can it be made in advance, but it must be made ahead of time.

Use extra firm tofu. This recipe lends itself well to a small amount of ginger powder or grated fresh ginger.

You can use 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil and then add olive oil to make 1/3 cup. You can also skip the oil and vinegar and use a soy "mayonnaise."
