🍙 I used to make onigiri a lot during my last job mainly because they were delicious, but also very convenient to grab and go with and really easy to eat without any utensils needed. #ad These Sweet Chili Tofu Stuffed Onigiri are making me return to this prepping habit, and to help minimize that prep time, I’m using some pre-marinated tofu from @nasoya, their Plantspired Toss’ables line to be exact. #tofu #onigiri All I did was mince it, and mix with some sauce while the rice was cooking, and it was ready to be stuffed. In general, having some pre-marinated tofu in the fridge is always a plus as there will inevitably be that instance when you don’t feel like doing extra cooking. So being able to heat and add them to a lazy bowl is also very appreciated. 😌 2 cups uncooked short grain rice 2 ¼ cups water 1, 7 oz package Nasoya Plantspired Toss’ables Korean-Inspired Sweet Chili 1 scallion, minced 2 tbsp vegan mayo 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce 1 tsp tamari ½ tsp toasted sesame oil Kosher salt Nori sheet (cut into strips), optional 3 tbsp sesame seeds, optional Rinse and wash the rice then place in a rice cooker with the water. Soak for 20 mins then cook using the white rice setting. Empty the package of tofu to a cutting board and mince well with a knife. Transfer it to a mixing bowl with scallions, mayo, chili sauce, tamari, and sesame oil. Stir the ingredients well to combine then set aside. Wait to assemble until the rice is warm, but safe to handle by hand. When ready to shape, set a bowl of water and a bowl of salt in front of you along with the rice and tofu filling. Wet hands generously, then dab 1-2 fingertips into the salt and rub into your palms. Grab a scoop of rice (about ⅓ cup) and place in your palm. Press your free hand into the middle of the rice to make a well. Add 1 tbsp of filling then cover completely with another scoop of rice. Use both hands to firmly press the rice together to form a ball around the filling. You can then shape the onigiri as desired. Alternatively, you can layer and press the ingredients into an onigiri mold to do the shaping for you. Coat the sides with some sesame seeds and wrap with nori and enjoy. - @plantbasedrd
