Description
All of the components of a typical vegetarian sushi roll are tossed together in a bowl for a filling and delicious vegan and gluten free meal. Cooked white rice is tossed with diced cucumber, carrot, roasted seaweed, and tofu then topped with a spicy mayo sauce and sliced avocado.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 14–ounce block of extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
- sea salt, to taste
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 0.35–ounce package of roasted seaweed snacks
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 2 tsp tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha (this one is my favorite!)
- 2 avocados
Instructions
Start by cooking the rice. Add the uncooked rice to a pot along with the water and 1 tbsp of the coconut oil. Set the pot over medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil, then stir it several times before reducing the heat to low and covering the pot with a lid. Cook the rice for 15 minutes, covered. After 15 minutes, remove the rice from the heat and leave the lid on to allow it to steam for at least 5 minutes. Season with salt as needed.
While the rice is cooking, focus on the tofu. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. While the pan heats up, cut your tofu into roughly half-inch cubes. When the pan is to temperature, add the remaining tbsp of coconut oil. Then, add the tofu and a pinch of salt. Cook the tofu, stirring every 1-2 minutes, until it is beginning to gain some color and turn golden brown. This will take 10-15 minutes.
Prepare your veggies next. Finely dice both the cucumber and carrot and set them aside. Crumble up the roasted seaweed with your fingers and place it in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, tamari, and sriracha until smooth. Slice or dice your avocado.
To assemble each bowl, mix 1 cup (about a third) of the rice with a third of the diced veggies, crumbled seaweed, and cooked tofu. Top each bowl with some of the avocado and drizzle with the spicy mayo.
Makes 3 servings.
Notes
- Since I’m typically making only 1 serving at a time to eat, I keep all of the components separate until I’m ready for a bowl.
