Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 200-gram block of firm tofu
- 2 medium radishes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 50 grams pickled ginger
- 1 full nori sheet
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 2 cups bowl of cooked sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions
Instructions
Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
While the tofu is pressing, rinse and cook 2 cups of sushi rice according to the package instructions if it's not already prepared. Set aside to cool.
Cut the pressed tofu into thin, sashimi-like slices. Set aside.
Wash the radishes and cucumber. Slice the radishes thinly and cut the cucumber into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.
Using a vegetable peeler, create thin carrot strips to resemble sashimi slices.
Cut the nori sheet into small strips or squares.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and one teaspoon of wasabi paste until well combined. Set aside as the dressing.
Scallions should be thinly sliced and set aside for garnishing.
In a serving bowl, start by adding a bed of sushi rice.
Arrange tofu slices, radishes, cucumber ribbons, avocado slices, carrot strips, and pickled ginger around the rice artfully.
Drizzle the dressing over the top of the vegetables and rice.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the assembled bowl.
Serve with additional wasabi paste on the side for those who prefer more spice.
