Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the rice according to the packet instructions. Or use any leftover rice.

Step 2

Prepare the tofu: Chop the tofu into tiny cubes of about 0.2 inch thickness (0.5 cm — refer to blog photos for visual). No need to press it. Heat a pan on medium heat with the sesame oil, and transfer the tofu, spreading with a spatula so that as much of the tofu as possible is in direct contact with the pan. Then do not touch it for 5 minutes; this will allow for some browning and a small crust to develop. Then stir well, and let it cook without touching for another 4 minutes.In the meantime, whisk together the miso, rice vinegar, and coconut aminos. Add the sauce to the pan, and keep cooking for 1 minute, while stirring to coat the tofu. Set aside.

Step 3

In the meantime, finely chop the avocado, cucumber, scallions, kimchi, and pickled ginger.

Step 4

In a bowl, add the rice, tofu, avocado, cucumber, scallions, kimchi, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo or sauce of choice. Mix well to combine. Adjust sauce to taste if needed.

Step 5

Fold a nori sheet in 4 and tear away to have 4 pieces. Repeat with the rest of the nori.

Step 6

Scoop up some of the tofu mix into the nori, and enjoy!
