Press the rice down into the mat with the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n<p>3. Place all the filling ingredients in the middle of the nori sheet. Roll the sheet using the mat, squeezing tightly to make sure everything is bonded. When reaching the end of the roll, brush water on the margin left to seal properly.<\/p>\n<p>4. Cut the roll into 5 pieces and serve with the leftover marinade or soy sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Coconut tempura tofu sushi<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8673 alignnone img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/news-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sushi rolls served in a white plate\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/news-image-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/news-image-1-768x490.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Break tradition with another exciting vegetarian recipe that will appeal to customers that not only love sushi but also enjoy trying unusual new dishes.<\/p>\n<h4>Sushi ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Quinoa<\/li>\n<li>120ml Rice vinegar such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/en\/japanese-ingredients\/vinegar\/\">Yumai<\/a><\/li>\n<li>25ml Honey<\/li>\n<li>25g Sugar<\/li>\n<li>5g Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Filling ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>250g Tofu<\/li>\n<li>100g Flour<\/li>\n<li>100g Cornflour<\/li>\n<li>1g Salt<\/li>\n<li>100ml Carbonated water<\/li>\n<li>Ice cubes<\/li>\n<li>100g Unsweetened shaved coconut<\/li>\n<li>50g Panko breadcrumbs<\/li>\n<li>4 Nori sheets<\/li>\n<li>30g Cabbage<\/li>\n<li>30g Carrot<\/li>\n<li>30g Onion<\/li>\n<li>100g Avocado<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Preparation method<\/h4>\n<p>1.
