Tofu Sushi Rolls with Quinoa

Ingredients: Tofu 15 oz. firm tofu 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil Quinoa 1 cup quinoa 2 cups water

Ingredients: 4 tablespoons brown rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons low sodium gluten free tamari Sweet Dipping Sauce 2 tablespoons sugar

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons low sodium gluten free tamari 2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil Sushi Rolls 6 nori sheets 12 strips of red pepper

Tofu: Drain and press tofu. Slice tofu. Pour sesame oil in a hot pan. Add tofu and tamari. Cook both sides on medium heat until browned and slightly crispy.

Quinoa: Rinse quinoa thoroughly. Bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Heat brown rice vinegar, sugar, and tamari in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Pour over cooked quinoa, and mix thoroughly. Let cool.

Sweet Dipping Sauce: Mix dipping sauce ingredients until sugar dissolves. Heat in a pan if necessary (or if you get impatient waiting for sugar to dissolve).

Sushi Rolls: Lay a nori sheet out on a cutting board. Spread ½ cup quinoa on nori sheet, pressing quinoa into nori and leaving about ½" of the far side uncovered.

Slice into strips. Layer 4 tofu strips and 2 long red pepper slices on quinoa. Roll tightly away from you. Wet the uncovered edge so that the roll will stick.

Slice on perforated lines with a serrated knife, or to the size of your liking. Repeat with the other rolls. Serve with sweet dipping sauce.
