Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice

  • 2 ¼ cups water

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 3 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch strips

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets

  • ½ cucumber, julienned

  • ½ avocado, julienned

  • 1 small carrot, julienned

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan cover rice with water and let stand for 30 minutes.

  2. In a shallow dish combine soy sauce, honey, and garlic. In this mixture, marinate tofu for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Bring water and rice to a boil and then reduce heat; simmer for about 20 minutes, or until thick and sticky. In a large glass bowl, combine cooked rice with rice vinegar.

  4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Working with wet hands, spread 1/4 of rice evenly over nori; leave about 1/2 inch on the top edge of the nori. Place 2 strips of marinated tofu end to end about 1 inch from the bottom. Place 2 strips of cucumber next to tofu, then avocado and carrot.

  5. Roll nori tightly from the bottom, using the mat to help make a tight roll. Seal by moistening the top 1/2 inch with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice with a serrated knife into 1-inch thick slices.
