Make Delicious Tofu Mayonnaise with Shio Koji♪. [Photograph: Vicky Wasik] Shio koji is a Japanese cure/marinade made by fermenting grain koji (cooked grain, traditionally rice, that has been inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae, the mold that gives us miso, soy sauce, and sake), water, and salt until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency and takes on a sweet, funky aroma. Rich in protease and amylase enzymes that can break down. Baste the tofu pieces with the salt koji, then place some of the extra salt koji in the bottom of a container.
