Ingredients
2 cups white sushi rice (brown rice has differnet cooking times)
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 oz. extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 sheets nori
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pickled ginger
Soy sauce, for serving
Preparation
Step 1:
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Add the rice and water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Step 2:
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3:
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and stir gently to combine.
Step 4:
In a small bowl, combine the tofu, soy sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
Step 5:
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. Spread 1/4 of the rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Step 6:
Spread 1/4 of the tofu mixture over the rice. Add a few slices of avocado on top of the tofu.
Step 7:
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly, pressing down as you go. Wet the top border with a little water to seal the roll.
Step 8:
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.
Step 9:
Slice the rolls into 6-8 pieces each.
Step 10:
Serve with pickled ginger and soy sauce for dipping.
