- Wrap the tofu in a tea towel and place a plate or a bowl on top to force out excess water. Leave for about 15 minutes.
- Grind the sesame and tofu with a mortar and pestle (If you do not have them, use a bowl and fork) and mix with the sugar, mirin and salt.
- Add the simmered hijiki to the tofu mixture and mix well.
