Ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the package instructions.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Set aside to cool.
-
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the seasoned vinegar using a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Be careful not to mash the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
-
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean work surface, shiny side down. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat.
-
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
-
Arrange a few strips of tofu and avocado in a line across the center of the rice.
-
Using the bamboo mat as a guide, tightly roll up the sushi, applying gentle pressure as you go. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
-
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat slices.
-
Serve the Tofu and Avocado Sushi Rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for dipping.
