Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 whole Nori sheets
- 1 small, julienned Cucumber
- 1 small, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, sliced Avocado
- 1 block, sliced into strips Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or a saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions, or if using a saucepan, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat just until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Pour over the cooked sushi rice and use a wooden spatula to gently fold and mix until well combined. Let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare the spicy mayo by mixing Kewpie mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the spiciness to taste and set aside.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take about a quarter of the sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and a couple of strips of tofu across the center of the rice-covered nori.
Roll the sushi by lifting the bamboo mat edge closest to you and rolling it away, holding the filling in place with your fingers. Use the mat to shape the roll tightly; stop when you reach the bare edge of nori. Moisten the edge with a little water and seal the roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a wet cloth between cuts to ensure clean slicing.
Drizzle or dollop the spicy mayo generously over the sushi rolls and sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds.
Serve with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy your Vegetarian Homemade Spicy Mayo Sushi Roll!
