Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz extra firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp sriracha (more or less, to preference)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 scallions (finely sliced)
  • 2 tbsp finely shredded carrot
  • sushi rice
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 1 cucumber (cut into strips)
  • 1 package sushi nori
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • soy sauce
  • wasabi
  • pickled sushi ginger

Instructions
 

  • Make the Spicy Tofu "Crab" Salad: Press the tofu for 30 minutes ahead. Use a cheese grater to shred the tofu.
  • Mix the grated tofu with the mayo, sriracha, soy sauce and vinegar and stir to combine. Give it a taste and add an extra dash of sriracha or soy sauce if you like.
  • The salad can be served right away, but I usually like to refrigerate it for about 1 hour to let the tofu soak up the flavors.
  • Roll the Sushi: Vegan California rolls consist of cucumber, avocado, and the spicy tofu salad. Use a sushi rolling mat for clean, tight rolls that hold together well.
  • Slice the sushi with a very sharp knife. It’s helpful to wipe down the knife with a wet cloth between slices to keep the cuts super clean.
  • Enjoy the sushi with your favorite accoutrements! Sushi is best enjoyed immediately, as the rice dries out and gets hard in the fridge.
