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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, and liquid smoke. Add the tofu strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Arrange a few strips of marinated tofu, avocado slices, cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper on the rice towards the bottom.
  6. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing down to seal the edges with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces and serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
