TOFU MAKI (VEGETARIAN SUSHI)
Vegetarian sushi. It's heart healthy, fun to make and tasty too! For a little extra flavor, use marinated baked tofu instead of plain. Either way, have a little soy sauce on hand for dipping... or indulge with tasty plum sauce or hoisin sauce... it's up to you!

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and slice in half width wise and then slice each half in half so you have 4 short pieces.
- Holding your knife parallel to the cutting service, slice the tofu blocks in half.
- Take each piece and cut in half again to yield 32 short pieces of tofu.
- Cut off top quarter of each nori sheet along short end.
- Place one sheet of nori with the shiny side down on a sushi mat.
- The long end should be toward you.
- Moisten your hands and mold 3/4 cup rice in a tube like line over nori, leaving a 1-inch border on one long end of the sheet.
- Place 2-3 pieces of tofu, 2 carrot strips, 2 slices avocado, 1 green onion top, and 2 cucumber strips along top third of the rice-covered nori sheet.
- Lift the edge of the nori closest to you and fold it over the filling.
- Now lift the bottom edge of the sushi mat and begin to roll toward the top edge.
- You need to press firmly on the roll to keep it tight.
- Continue rolling to the top edge and press the mat at the top to seal the roll.
- Let the roll rest for 5 minutes with the seam side down.
- Repeat the procedure until all 6 sheets of nori are filled and rolled.
- Slice each roll into 8 pieces and serve.
- Note: Save any extra tofu pieces for another batch of avocado rolls or use in a salad or fry them up and serve as a crispy treat.
