Cut the cucumbers length-ways and scoop out the center with a spoon.

Place the scallions in a suribachi and crush to a paste. (Alternately, you can use a blender to puree them.)

Cut the tofu and steam for 5 minutes.

Add the umeboshi paste and steamed tofu, mash them together.

Fill the cucumber with the tofu mixture.

Cut the cucumbers into ½ inch pieces and serve garnished with nori flakes.
