How to make Vegan Sushi Burrito
Cook Sushi Rice
Cook your sushi rice according to package directions. Once it’s cooked, let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare Crispy Tofu
While the rice is cooking, make your crispy tofu. Slice your tofu block into strips, toss in cornstarch and coconut aminos and air fry at 400f for 12-15 minutes until crispy and golden.
Prepare Vegetables
Slice cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and avocado into long strips. You can also use sprouts or other fresh greens for added texture and flavour.
Assemble Your Sushi Burrito
Assemble your sushi burrito by spreading rice over the nori sheet, leaving 1 inch at the end of each sheet to seal the burrito later.
Add Fillings
Add your crispy tofu, sliced veggies, sprouts, and sesame seeds inside.
Roll and Seal
Dunk your fingers in water, and wet the loose end of your nori sheet, and roll up your sushi burrito. Wetting the end will ensure that the burrito sticks together.
Serve and Enjoy!
Use a sharp knife to slice the burrito in half. Serve fresh!
