This sushi bowl is a super easy and healthy cold meal, served with the BEST sauce ever. I love the sweet & salty combo that the mango adds. This tofu recipe is very soy-saucy, so if you don’t like that, try my Crispy Tofu Protein Snack instead! If you like a softer tofu, try the pan fried tofu in my Mukimame Sushi Bowl with Soft Tofu.
The Sushi Ingredients
- 2 container (15 oz), Tofu extra firm
- .5 cup, Soy sauce
- 4 tsp, unpacked, Brown sugar
- 2 cup(s), Hot Water
- 2.50 cup dry, Sushi Rice
- 0.33 cup(s), Seasoned Rice Vinegar
- 2 whole, seedless cucumber
- 1 mango, Mango
- 1 medium, Avocado
- The tofu takes about 4 hours to press & bake, so plan accordingly: Press the tofu in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar and hot water until the sugar is dissolved.
- Cut the tofu in half horizontally.
- Pour the marinade into a square baking dish (Size here). Place your tofu inside and spoon marinade over the top. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the liquid has been fully absorbed, turning the slabs every 30 mins and spooning more of the marinade on top.
- Prepare your sushi rice: rinse the rice in cold water for 2 minutes,or until the water runs clear. Drain.
- Cook your sushi rice according to your package, depending on the rice the instructions for ideal sushi rice will vary. I usually rinse my rice a few times, until the water is less cloudy, then I add it to a pot with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. I lower the heat to simmer and cook with a lid for 12-15 minutes, until the water is gone and the rice is tender. Then I let it sit covered for 10 more minutes, off the heat.
- Put the rice in a large mixing bowl and drizzle it with the rice vinegar. Gently fold the rice with a spatula or wooden spoon, careful not to smash it.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it cool until it reaches room temperature.
- Cut the cooked tofu, mango, avocado and cucumber into cubes.
- Serve everything mixed together in a bowl and drizzle the yum yum sauce on top.
