Ingredients​​

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 oz firm tofu, diced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 avocado, sliced

​​How to Make a Poke Bowl with Tofu

Start by rinsing the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or a pot, and cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil on the stove and then simmer on low for about 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then stir it into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a pan, sauté diced tofu in a little oil until golden and crispy, then toss it with soy sauce. To assemble the poke bowl, scoop a serving of rice into a bowl, top it with sautéed tofu, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds. Optionally, add seaweed salad on the side and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger if desired.
