COOK TIME

TOTAL TIME
1
Rinse the sushi rice in water until it runs clear, about 3 times. Drain thoroughly.
2
Place the rinsed sushi rice and water in a small saucepan over high heat.
3
Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
4
Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat, and let stand for 10 more minutes.
5
Meanwhile, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and sea salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds on high, or until the sugar and salt fully dissolve, stirring occasionally.
6
When the rice is cooked, transfer to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a fork. Let it cool to room temperature before making your sushi.
MARINATED TOFU
7
Slice the pressed tofu into 8 even strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
8
In a shallow dish, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced scallions. Mix well.
9
Add the tofu slices to the marinade, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes, then flip and marinate for another 15 minutes.
10
Remove the tofu from the marinade, wiping off any excess ginger, garlic, and scallions to prevent burning.
11
Heat a lightly-oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tofu on both sides until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
TOFU MUSUBI
12
Divide the sushi rice into 8 equal portions. With wet hands, press each portion into a firm and even rectangular shape, approximately the size of the tofu slices.
13
Top each rice rectangle with one piece of cooked tofu. Wrap each musubi with a nori strip. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later consumption.
