Teriyaki Tofu Roll Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Tofu

   Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick slices.

2. 2

   Make the Teriyaki Sauce

   In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

3. 3

   Cook the Tofu

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Add Sauce to Tofu

   Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked tofu and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavor. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly.

6. 6

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado thinly.

7. 7

   Assemble the Rolls

   Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange slices of teriyaki tofu, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the rice.

8. 8

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge with a little water.

9. 9

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with extra soy sauce if desired.
