Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups cooked rice (brown rice, wild rice or japonica)
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger

Preparation
- In small bowl, combine tamari, ginger, shallots, sesame oil and rice vinegar. Place tofu cutlets on platter and coat both sides with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
