Description

This Crunchy Roll Bowl is a vibrant and satisfying deconstructed sushi experience in a bowl. Packed with crispy tofu, creamy avocado, fresh veggies, and a drizzle of spicy mayo, it’s everything you love about sushi rolls with half the effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups sushi rice, uncooked
  • 1 block (14 oz) extra firm tofu, cubed and pressed
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse and cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with rice vinegar and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While the rice cooks, press and cube the tofu. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and a splash of rice vinegar to create a quick marinade. Let tofu soak for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, about 3–5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Prepare the spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. To assemble, divide the rice into serving bowls. Top with tofu, avocado slices, cucumber, edamame, and jalapeño.
  6. Drizzle spicy mayo over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds or seaweed flakes if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Press tofu well for the crispiest texture.
  • Chill veggies beforehand for maximum freshness.
  • Use a wet knife to slice avocado smoothly.
  • Adjust sriracha to make the sauce more or less spicy.
