I had some tofu and crab stick that were nearing their best-by dates, so I made this and it was a hit.

If you are using umeboshi plums, chop them into a paste with a knife. This recipe is delicious chilled in the refrigerator and served over rice. My family likes this with plenty of ume plums and crab stick. Recipe by Akkorin mama
