- 1 Cook the rice
- Add sushi rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the grains are tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let the rice steam, covered. (4-serving meal: use 2½ cups water)
- 2 Mix the almond butter sauce
- Add garlic, just 2 tsp ginger, almond butter, tamari, turbinado sugar, sesame oil, just 1 tbsp chile garlic sauce, and 2 tbsp warm water to a medium bowl, and mix the almond butter sauce until smooth. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp ginger, 2 tbsp chile garlic sauce, 4 tbsp warm water) TIPS: Save any remaining ginger for your own use. Add more chile garlic sauce if you prefer.
- 3 Crisp the tofu
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until crispy in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Add almond butter sauce and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 1 tbsp vegetable oil) TIP: Crisp the tofu in batches for the 4-serving meal if necessary. Be sure to return all tofu to the pan before adding the sauce.
- 4 Serve
- Divide rice between bowls and top with almond butter tofu, pea shoots, and radish. Serve with any remaining chile garlic sauce. Bon appétit!
