Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 6 sheets nori seaweed
- Pickled ginger, for serving
- Wasabi paste, for serving
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Once the rice is cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, and liquid smoke. Add the tofu strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of rice over the nori, leaving about an inch uncovered at the top.
- Arrange a few strips of marinated tofu, avocado slices, cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper on the rice towards the bottom.
- Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing down to seal the edges with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces and serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
