Ewok Sushi

You’ll need:

1 package aburaage tofu pouches
1 sheet seaweed
1 slice salami

For the rice:

2 cups brown rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps –

Step 1: Rinse the brown rice until water runs clear. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Step 2: In a large saucepan add the rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil.

Step 3: Cover and reduce heat, then simmer for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let sit for 10 minutes, covered.

Step 4: Transfer the rice into a medium bowl and fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool slightly.

Step 5: Prepare tofu pouches according to the package.

Step 6: Pull apart each pouch and stuff with the rice mixture.

Step 7: Cut the corners off both sides of the pouch and push the rice through to form the fluffy ears.

Step 8: Use kitchen shears to cut away the middle part of the pouch to reveal a face area.

Step 9: Cut or punch out seaweed to create eyes and a nose, and cut a small piece of salami for the mouth.

Step 10: Place onto the rice balls to serve.

Yub nub! Your Ewok sushi is ready!
