Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 1 medium avocado
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 8 ounces firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over the cooked rice and fold gently to season.

Step 4

Press the tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut tofu into long strips.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and sesame oil. Marinate the tofu strips in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

Slice avocado and cucumber into long, thin strips.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap.

Step 8

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top margin empty for sealing.

Step 9

Place a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and marinated tofu along the edge closest to you.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll up the nori, tucking the filling inside and rolling into a tight log. Dab a little water on the exposed nori edge to seal.

Step 11

Repeat with remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces and arrange on a plate.

Step 13

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the rolls for garnish.

Step 14

Serve the rolls with pickled ginger, wasabi paste, and soy sauce on the side.
