Spicy Tofu Sushi Food

HOT AND SPICY TOFU

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, toss to coat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.

SPICY TOFU SUSHI

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.

THE BEST EVER VEGAN SUSHI

Steps:

• Combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir once with a bamboo rice spatula or thin wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until all water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add rice vinegar, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat mixture until all sugar has dissolved and liquid begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let cool until safe to handle, at least 10 minutes. Fold small portions of the cooled liquid slowly into the cooled rice until the mixture is slightly wet and sticky, but not gooey; you may not need all of the liquid.
• Press excess liquid out of the tofu using a paper towel. Cut tofu into strips.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add tofu strips, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Mix vegan mayonnaise and sriracha together in a small bowl.
• Lay a sheet of nori, rough-side up, on a sushi mat. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thick, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, covering it completely. Arrange tofu strips, avocado, cabbage, carrots, and cucumber in a line along the bottom edge of the sheet.
• Roll nori and sushi mat over the filling. Remove the mat and wrap the roll with plastic wrap, twisting ends tightly to compress the roll. Refrigerate until set, 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining nori and filling.
• Remove sushi roll from the plastic wrap, slice into pieces, and top with the sriracha mayonnaise.

SWEET AND SPICY TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Wipe the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with peanut oil.
• In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, lime juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, honey, chili sauce, parsley, and basil.
• Add the tofu cubes to the marinade. Stir to coat well and set aside.
• Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add 1 cup water, and stir to make an even layer. Add the carrots and cauliflower in a layer.
• Layer the tofu in the pot, leaving some marinade in the bowl. Add the bell pepper and snow peas and pour the remaining marinade on top.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
