When we want vegetarian sushi we try and go to a place where they will customize. We want big flavorful American style rolls with things like asparagus and sweet potato tempera or jalape\u00f1os stuffed with cream cheese battered and fried, and wrapped in rolls, topped with avocado and teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo. Maybe make a roll with mushrooms then cut it, lay it flat, top with kewpie mayo, baked it and then add fried onions, raw onions, sesame oil, you name it! Okay now I am getting hungry&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tofu has so much water content that it doesn&#8217;t absorb marinade very well. What I did was cut the tofu the night before and wrap it in a towel and put it in the fridge over night which dried it out some. Then in the morning I put the tofu in the marinade. I&#8217;m doing a lot more planning and cooking ahead these days since there is so little time to play with Ishaan after work! On Sunday we try and figure out what we want to eat during the week and do some prep.<\/p>\n<p>This made 2 bowls.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Teriyaki Sauce<\/span><br \/>\n1\/4 cup soy sauce<br \/>\n1\/4 cup mirin<br \/>\n1\/2 tablespoon sesame oil<br \/>\n2 tablespoons brown sugar<br \/>\n2 cloves garlic minced<br \/>\n2 teaspoons ginger minced<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix all ingredients together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Spicy Mayo<\/span><br \/>\n2 tablespoon mayo (Japanese Kewpie mayo is best, Best Foods 2nd best)<br \/>\nSrirachi to taste<br \/>\nPinch vinegar<br \/>\nPinch sugar<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix all ingredients together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bowls<\/span><br \/>\n8 ounces tofu cut into squares<br \/>\nTeriyaki sauce<br \/>\nCalrose rice<br \/>\nA little olive oil for pan frying cauliflower and tofu<br \/>\n1\/2 cauliflower broken into florets<br \/>\n1 avocado<br \/>\nSpicy Mayo<br \/>\nSesame seeds<br \/>\nGreen onions chopped<br \/>\nCilantro chopped (optional)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Marinate the tofu in a little of the teriyaki sauce (see above for tips).<\/li>\n<li>Cook rice (we use a rice cooker and for Calrose it is about 1 cup rice to a little less than 1 1\/2 cups water).<\/li>\n<li>Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and brown the cauliflower.
