Ingredients

(Preparation time 5 minutes, chilling 2 hours)

3/4 cup crumbled firm tofu
1 teaspoon agar powder (a gelatinlike thickener available at natural food stores)
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 tablespoon light miso
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Puree tofu, agar, water, sugar, oil and salt in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over a medium flame until it bubbles and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

Whisk the miso and lemon juice into the mixture, then pour it into a baking dish. Cover and chill until firm, about 2 hours. Cut into squares or crumble to serve. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
