Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shelled edamame (cooked and cooled)
- 1/4 cup pickled ginger (optional)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to instructions. Once done, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved and fold into the cooked rice. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Tofu: Coat each tofu cube lightly with cornstarch. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of sushi rice as the base. Top with crispy tofu, sliced avocado, and edamame. Optionally, add pickled ginger on the side.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle soy sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
