Cooking Tips

• Pressing the tofu helps to remove excess moisture and allows it to absorb more flavor from the marinade.
• For a more authentic tuna flavor, you can add a small amount of kelp powder or seaweed flakes to the marinade.
• Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables or herbs, such as diced bell peppers, grated carrots, or fresh dill.
