Avocado and Tofu Salad/Dip

Can use either as well.

Cube avocado and tofu
Add a dash of mirin
Add a spoonful of shoyu
Stir

Can also mash them to make a dip.

Adding peanut butter and mix with shoyu also works, unsweetened works best.

My favorite is split it half/half - cubed and mashed.

You can also top rice with this. Make the rice extra hot so it doesn't get cold when you mix them together.
