Ingredients
Tofu “Salmon” Steaks
- 16-oz. block extra firm tofu
- 1 TBSP Tamari Lite
- 1 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Brown Rice Vinegar
- 1 tsp miso paste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup organic vegetable broth
- 1/2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 1 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Black Sesame Oil
Sriracha Mayo
- ¼ cup vegan mayo
- 1 TBSP coconut aminos
- 1 TBSP sriracha
For Serving
- 2 servings cooked rice
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 small English cucumber, diced
- Eden Foods Organic Kimchi Sauerkraut
- 1–2 Eden Foods Sushi Nori Sheets, cut into small rectangles
- Sriracha mayo (recipe above)
- Eden Foods Organic Black Sesame Seeds
- Eden Foods Organic Brown Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Cut the tofu block into quarters to create “steaks”. Score the tofu on the diagonal with a knife using two chopsticks as guards on either side so you don’t slice all of the way through. The slices will ensure that the marinade is absorbed better.
- Add the marinade ingredients to a shallow dish and mix well to combine. Add the scored tofu quarters to the marinade and toss them so they’re completely covered. Allow the tofu to marinade for ~30 minutes to 4 hours.
- While the tofu is marinading, prepare your toppings and cook the rice according to instructions.
- After marinading, add a generous amount of black sesame oil to a pan over medium high heat. Once the oil is warm, add the tofu steaks to the pan and cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping at the halfway point. Continue cooking until the tofu steaks are crispy brown on both sides.
- While the tofu is cooking, prepare your sriracha mayo by adding all ingredients to a small bowl and whisking until combined. Set aside.
- To assemble, add rice to a bowl or plate and add one of the tofu steaks on top.
- Top the plate with the sliced avocado, cucumber, kimchi, and drizzle with sriracha mayo. Top with black and brown sesame seeds and serve immediately. Enjoy by putting the ingredients on the nori like sushi!
