- For the Cold Tofu Salad:
1 block firm tofu, drained and cubed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 green onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Vegetable Handrolls:
4 sheets nori (seaweed)
1 cup cooked sushi rice or brown rice
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced into matchsticks
1/2 carrot, julienned
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon pickled ginger (optional)
Soy sauce or tamari for dipping
Directions
- For the Cold Tofu Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Toss gently to coat the tofu in the dressing.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the handrolls.
- For the Vegetable Handrolls:
- Lay a sheet of nori on a flat surface, shiny side down. Spread a small amount of rice in the center of the nori, leaving about an inch at the top.
- Arrange a few slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and shredded cabbage on top of the rice.
- Optionally, add a small amount of pickled ginger for extra flavor.
- Roll the nori tightly around the filling to form a handroll, sealing the edge with a little water if necessary. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the handrolls alongside the Cold Tofu Salad with a side of soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
