Add in an immersion blender unsweetened soy milk, apple cider vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, kala namak, and lime juice. Blend for 1 minute, then slowly start drizzling in the canola oil while the immersion blender is running. Blend for about 3 minutes until mixture is thick and creamy. If it’s too liquidy, add a bit more oil and blend further. |

For FishCut the two slices of tofu in half to make 4 pieces total. Slice the nori sheet into 4 pieces in the same shapes as the tofu pieces. Place the sliced nori pieces on top of each piece of tofu. Press the nori onto each piece of tofu so that it sticks. Sprinkle the backside of each piece of tofu with a pinch of salt. |

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, curry powder, and pepper. Then, add in the seltzer water, beer, or cider and whisk until a smooth batter forms. You can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more flour if it’s too runny or more seltzer water, beer, or cider if it’s too thick. |
