Hint: If making chorizo in advance, cover and store in the
refrigerator to allow flavors to develop.

Instead of tempeh, use tofu that has been frozen for at least 2
days. Thaw it and squeeze to remove excess water. Mash with kelp and
mix with remaining ingredients.

Instead of tempeh, use 1 2/3 cups cooked, mashed kidney beans mixed
with 1/3 cup chopped walnuts. Mash with kelp and mix with remaining
ingredients.
