SPICY TOFU SUSHI



Spicy Tofu Sushi image

High protein sushi rolls which are not too high in fat. The yield and measurements are estimates as sometimes I make this into thin sushi, sometimes futomaki, sometimes sushi layers. This mixture can even be placed inside rice balls, just finely chop the spring onion.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sushi rice, cooked and seasoned (I recommend Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice)
4 ounces firm tofu
1/4 teaspoon hot chili oil (to taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise (recommend Kewpie brand)
1 green scallion, white part removed, sliced lengthwise into narrow strips
1 tablespoon black sesame seed (toasted)
2 sheets nori

Steps:

  • Cook tofu how desired, steaming, boiling and frying are all acceptable. I like to cut mine into very, very small squares and swirl around a hot dry pan.
  • When golden, remove from heat and mash with the mayo and chili oil.
  • If you have a sushi rolling mat lay it on the table, otherwise lay a clean tea towel down and cover it with cling film.
  • lay a sheet of nori on top shiny side down, if it is untoasted you may wish to briefly pass it through a flame. And place a layer of sushi rice on top. For thin sushi layer about 1/8 inch thick and for fat rolls layer about 1/4 - 1/2 think. Leaving a gap of around 1 inch at each side.
  • Place a line of the tofu mix 1 inch from the edge of the rice. lay the spring onion on top.
  • Starting at the edge roll up like a swiss roll keep the rolling a tight as possible using the sushi mat/towel to aid the process. When you reach the end moisten the remaining edge with water and stick down. Roll up in the towel and allow to sit while you make the rest.
  • Using a wet, sharp knife slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Remove the ends and eat. Place the rest on a platter and serve.

Super Simple Spicy Fried Tofu image

This recipe is adapted from a local tofu maker that frequents neighborhood farmers markets. It's vegetarian and vegan friendly and tastes great - even non-vegetarians love it! Spicy garlic sauce is a staple ingredient in many Vietnamese dishes and creates a spicy-sweet combination with the brown sugar.

HOT AND SPICY TOFU



Hot and Spicy Tofu image

Firm tofu, bell pepper, and red onion, all quickly stir fried in a sweet and sour sauce. A word of caution - this is VERY spicy! If you like milder dishes, decrease the amount of pepper flakes or omit them altogether.
