Lazy Sushi

This lazy sushi delivers all the fresh, savory flavours of traditional sushi in a deconstructed meal format that's surprisingly easy to prepare. Instead of bothering with bamboo rolling mats or rolling perfect sushi rolls, you'll build delicious layers of sticky rice, creamy avocado, marinated tofu, sweet potato, crisp cucumber, and nori, then press them together and slice into bite-sized pieces. Finished with spicy sriracha mayo and served alongside soy sauce for dipping, it's super satisfying, naturally vegan, and quicker than takeout even on a busy weeknight.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ avocado sliced
  • 2 cups cooked sticky rice cooled
  • 1 sheet nori
  • 1 small sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • ¼ cucumber thinly sliced
  • ½ block tofu thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp sriracha mayo
  • Soy sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sticky rice ahead of time and allow it to cool completely.
  • Cook the sweet potato either:
    • In the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes, or
    • In the microwave by poking several holes with a fork and microwaving for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, mash the sweet potato.
  • Once cooked, mash the sweet potato.
  • Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Thinly slice the tofu and toss it with the coconut aminos to marinate.
  • Line a square or rectangular glass container with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to lift everything out later.
  • Assemble the layers in this order:
    • Sliced avocado
    • 1 cup cooked rice
    • Nori (cut to fit the container)
    • Mashed sweet potato
    • Sliced cucumber
    • Marinated tofu
    • Remaining 1 cup of rice
    • Another layer of nori
  • Press each layer down firmly as you build to help everything hold together.
  • Flip the container onto a cutting board, remove the container, drizzle with the sriracha mayo, then carefully peel away the plastic wrap.
  • Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
