Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 8 ounces fresh sushi-grade tuna, sliced into strips
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Sushi Rice: In a pot, bring the rinsed sushi rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice and let cool.
- Prepare the Tofu: In a skillet, heat soy sauce and teriyaki sauce over medium heat. Add the sliced tofu and cook until golden brown and coated in the glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a few strips of teriyaki-glazed tofu and fresh tuna in the center.
- Roll it Up: Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce.
