Step 1
Use a cheese grater or a food processor to shred the super-firm tofu. (If you are substituting extra-firm tofu, please make sure you have thoroughly pressed it beforehand.)
Step 2
Mix the grated tofu with all remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Give it a taste and add an extra dash of sriracha or soy sauce if you like.
Step 3
The salad can be served right away, but I usually like to refrigerate it for about 1 hour to let the tofu soak up the flavors.
Step 4
Check the recipe notes for my go-to sushi rice recipe and tips on rolling. Vegan California rolls consist of cucumber, avocado, and the spicy tofu salad. Use a sushi rolling mat for clean, tight rolls that hold together well.
Step 5
Slice the sushi with a very sharp knife. It's helpful to wipe down the knife with a wet cloth between slices to keep the cuts super clean.
Step 6
Enjoy the sushi with your favorite accoutrements! Sushi is best enjoyed immediately, as the rice dries out and gets hard in the fridge.
