Tofu-Pepper-Nigiri

These modern vegetarian Nigiri-zushi are a little bit more complex to make, because tofu and pepper are roasted first.

Tofu-Pepper-Nigiri

Ingredients

1 half-sized seaweed sheet
1 portion Sushi rice
½ green pepper
½ garlic clove
2 tablespoons peanut oil
120 g tofu
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Preparation

Wash and clean green pepper, then cut into thin slices. Peel the skin off the garlic clove and slice finely. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan and roast garlic and pepper while stirring. Set aside and let cool off. Cut tofu into 8 pieces and roast with the rest of the oil. Take off heat and pour soy sauce, let cool off also. Form 8 Nigiri-zushi with rice, a piece of tofu and pepper. Cut 8 small strips out of the seaweed and wrap around the Nigiri-zushi.
