I am eating a lunch of spicy tofu rolls, along with cucumber rolls. Here's how you make them.
Make sushi rice ( short grain white rice + salt+sugar+rice wine vinegar, to taste). Spread on sheet of nori (seaweed). Add toasted white sesame seeds. Add slivers of cucumber and 3 long pieces of tofu, about the thickness of an asparagus spear. Top with generous squeezes of Sriracha hot sauce. Roll, then cut into 1/2 inch pieces with a sharp knife. Enjoy right away with soy sauce, or put in container and fridge for later.

Dear Gourmet Gazette,
If I do not enjoy tofu as much as you apparently do, what substitute ingredient would you suggest I use? Your recipe looks delicious! :) :) :)

Dear Alexander Nguyen,
The Spicy Tofu Rolls recipe was originally created as an inexpensive alternative to spicy tuna rolls. So if you have the financial backing for a nice, fresh piece of tuna, you can walk down to your local seafood market and purchase a piece to use in place of the tofu. If fresh tuna is out of your price range or you don't like fish, you can try using shredded chicken as an unusual but tasty substitute. Happy sushi rolling!
