Load the jar– Cucumber goes in first; press lightly to form a firm base.– Continue layering in order. For make-ahead lunches, keeping the saucy items (steps 8–12) near the top keeps veggies crisp.
Seal & store– Screw the lid on tightly.– Refrigerate upright (or dig in immediately). The tofu absorbs flavour while sesame seeds—and nori, if added—stay dry on top.
Shake to dress– When ready to eat, ensure the lid is secure.– Flip the jar upside-down twice, then shake vigorously for ~10 seconds to distribute the sauces.
Serve– Eat straight from the jar, or tip into a bowl for easier tossing.– Also delicious over rice, chilled noodles, or tucked into lettuce wraps for extra crunch.
