Instructions
- 11.Wash the rice until the water is clear, about 3-4 washes.
- 22.Add equal amounts of water and rice and bring to a boil on high heat, about 3-5 minutes.
- 33.Once boiling, bring the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the rice is cooked.
- 44.Turn off heat and leave lid on for 3-5 more minutes. Transfer to a bigger bowl for a faster cool down.
- 55.Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil while waiting for the rice.
- 66.Once rice is cool, add vinegar mixture and mix thoroughly until each grain is coated. A rice paddle or your hands work best.
- 77.In a medium bowl, grate the tofu. Add the mayo, sriracha, sugar/maple syrup, nori, green onion (if using), and salt. Mix and adjust to taste.
- 88.Place nori shiny side down on a clean surface. Wet your hands with tezu (water + rice vinegar) and spread sushi rice evenly, leaving about an inch gap at the top and half inch at the bottom.
- 99.Place the tofu filling in the middle, add avocado, sesame seeds, lemon zest, and your choice of fillings.
- 1010.Roll the sushi tightly and evenly. Wet the top inch of nori to seal.
- 1111.With a very sharp knife, cut the roll in the middle and into three, wetting the blade each time for clean cuts.
- 1212.Optional: top with sriracha mayo, green onions, sesame seeds, and french fried crispy onions. Best enjoyed with soy sauce and wasabi.
