I had seen this recipe on Cooking Hawaiian Style and noticed a few adjustments were made to the recipe. I used furikaki instead of the wakame, added purple thinly sliced onion and simmered the ginger in the vinegar and sugar. This brought out more of the ginger flavor which covered all the tofu. There was too much liquid which I think came from the tofu. Next time I ill drain the tofu much longer. Everyone enjoyed it. Some said it tasted fresh.
