Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole avocado
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 sheets nori sheets
- 1 whole cucumber
- 1 whole carrot
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the tofu. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut it into long, thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of water, then marinate the tofu strips in this mixture for about 10 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Drizzle this mixture over the rice and stir to combine.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and thinly slice the avocado flesh.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then cut them into thin matchsticks.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat shiny side down. Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge of the sheet uncovered.
Arrange slices of avocado, a few pieces of marinated tofu, cucumber, and carrot sticks in a line across the center of the rice.
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top of the filling.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori sheet over the filling, making sure to keep the roll tight. Before sealing, moisten the uncovered edge with a bit of water to help it stick.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Once all rolls are made, cut each into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for a clean slice.
Serve the avocado rolls with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy!
