Method

First weigh the silken tofu into a small bowl. Measure in the aquafaba, flour and a splash of lemon juice, and mix well with a fork to combine it all together. Add the aonori – this lends the fishy flavour – and salt and pepper, and mix again.
Spread the mixture on both slices of bread, a few millimetres thick. Scatter sesame seeds across the surface and press
