Description
This veggie sushi bowl with spicy mayo is a filling and delicious vegan dinner option! All of the components of a typical vegetarian sushi roll are tossed together and paired with a spicy mayo. Cooked white rice forms the base and is mixed with diced cucumber, carrot, roasted seaweed, and crispy tofu. Sliced avocado and a drizzle of spicy mayo finish the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
- 1 14–ounce block 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 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons 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 tablespoon 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 tablespoon of coconut oil. Then, add the tofu and season with a pinch or two 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.
Mix the cooked rice with the diced veggies, crumbled seaweed, and cooked tofu then portion into bowls. Top each bowl with some of the avocado and drizzle with the spicy mayo.
Notes
- If you are only eating 1 serving at a time to eat, keep all of the components separate until you’re ready to mix them together. The rice and tofu can be gently rewarmed on the stove or in a microwave to take the chill off.
