SPICY TOFU SUSHI
High protein sushi rolls which are not too high in fat. The yield and measurements are estimates as sometimes I make this into thin sushi, sometimes futomaki, sometimes sushi layers. This mixture can even be placed inside rice balls, just finely chop the spring onion.

Steps:
- Cook tofu how desired, steaming, boiling and frying are all acceptable. I like to cut mine into very, very small squares and swirl around a hot dry pan.
- When golden, remove from heat and mash with the mayo and chili oil.
- If you have a sushi rolling mat lay it on the table, otherwise lay a clean tea towel down and cover it with cling film.
- lay a sheet of nori on top shiny side down, if it is untoasted you may wish to briefly pass it through a flame. And place a layer of sushi rice on top. For thin sushi layer about 1/8 inch thick and for fat rolls layer about 1/4 - 1/2 think. Leaving a gap of around 1 inch at each side.
- Place a line of the tofu mix 1 inch from the edge of the rice. lay the spring onion on top.
- Starting at the edge roll up like a swiss roll keep the rolling a tight as possible using the sushi mat/towel to aid the process. When you reach the end moisten the remaining edge with water and stick down. Roll up in the towel and allow to sit while you make the rest.
- Using a wet, sharp knife slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Remove the ends and eat. Place the rest on a platter and serve.

- Starting at the front edge, using the the sushi mat, roll forward and keeping it as tight as possible and moving the mat ahead so that it does not roll up with the rice mixture. When you reach the end, moisten the top edge of the Nori with cold water and stick it down against the roll.

Tips:
- Choose extra firm or firm tofu for the best texture. Extra firm tofu will hold its shape better when cooked, while firm tofu will still be soft and creamy on the inside.
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This will help the tofu absorb the marinade and cook more evenly.
- Slice the tofu thinly so that it cooks quickly and evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the tofu so that it has plenty of room to spread out. This will help the tofu get crispy on all sides.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning. Flip the tofu frequently so that it cooks evenly on all sides.
- Make the spicy mayo sauce while the tofu is cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the tofu sushi immediately with the spicy mayo sauce and your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Spicy tofu sushi is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The tofu is crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside, and the spicy mayo sauce adds a delicious kick. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
