Ingredients

RICE

  • 1 cup short grain rice
  • 11/2 cups water
  • 1–2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

WASABI MAYO

  • 2–3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon wasabi paste

SALAD

  • 1 carrot
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1/2 capsicum
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 spring onions

TERIYAKI TOFU

  • 300g firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup cornflour
  • 80g teriyaki sauce, mixed with 3 tablespoons water

TO SERVE

  • 30g pickled ginger
  • 3–6 seaweed sheets
  • 10g toasted sesame seeds

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid at any time during cooking.
  2. In a small dish, combine mayonnaise and wasabi and set aside. Peel carrot then use a vegetable peeler to peel carrot and cucumber into ribbons; remove core and seeds from capsicum and thinly slice; slice avocado; thinly slice green part of spring onions. Set all aside.
  3. Prepare tofu; pat tofu dry using paper towels and dice 2cm. Place cornflour in a medium bowl, add tofu and toss to coat well. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, non-stick, fry-pan on medium heat. Fry tofu for 1–2 minutes each side, or until golden. Remove pan from heat, add teriyaki sauce/water mixture to tofu and toss to coat well. Take care as you do this as sauce may splatter.
  4. Fluff up rice with a fork and stir through rice wine vinegar.
  5. Serve ¾ cup cooked rice in each bowl. Top with cucumber and carrot ribbons, capsicum, tofu pieces, and a few slices of avocado. Dollop over wasabi mayo and garnish with spring onion, pickled ginger, seaweed sheets and sesame seeds.
