Sushi Rice

Salad and Tofu

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer Rice

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Let Rest

    Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a bowl.

  5. 5

    Season Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Drizzle over the rice and gently fold to combine.

Prepare Salad and Tofu

  1. 6

    Prepare Tofu

    Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 7

    Sauté Tofu

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 8

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the tofu is cooking, thinly slice the cucumber and cut the avocado into cubes.

  4. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed tofu, cucumber slices, edamame, and avocado cubes.

Make Poke Sauce

  1. 10

    Mix Poke Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lime juice until well combined.
