Tofu-licious Roll Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Garlic Tofu

   1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into bite-sized cubes. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add tofu, soy sauce, and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Vegetable Escabeche

   2. In a bowl, combine julienned carrots, cucumber, and red onion. In a separate bowl, mix apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Pour over the vegetables and toss to coat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   3. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

4. 4

   Assemble the Roll

   4. Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a border at the top. Add a line of garlic tofu, vegetable escabeche, and avocado slices. Roll tightly, using the mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   5. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy gingerette for dipping.
