Filling: Heat the toasted sesame oil on a skillet and add the scallions. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat until they become soft and becoming translucent. Turn the heat down to low and add the remaining ingredients except the blanched scallion greens) incorporating the scallions into the miso. Heat through for 2 minutes, adding a little water if necessary.

Make "sandwiches" with the tofu slices, slathering one piece of tofu with the miso scallion mixture and placing another piece of tofu on top. Cut the sandwiches in half for hors d'oeuvres size or leave whole for main course. If desired, place a piece of nori on top of the tofu "sandwich". Tie the piece together to form a package with the blanched scallion ribbons.
