This is anything but your typical spicy tuna roll! The tuna is dressed in a chipotle infused aioli as well as a hint of lime and cilantro. Black beans, a fairly uncommon sushi component, pair well with the tuna mixture. And as a playful tribute to the ever popular crunchy roll, the outside of this […]
I think being Southern and having a sweet tooth are synonymous. No matter what I’ve eaten, I always save a little room at the end for a bite of dessert. I like to rationalize that if a Japanese meal is traditionally ended with sips of green tea, desserts that follow sushi should contain green tea. […]

I always keep a reserve of sushi rice dressing in my pantry. Besides being available to me if the sushi urge strikes, this marinade is extremely helpful for making quick salads. The simple mixture of vinegar, sugar and salt stands up wonderfully to thinly sliced vegetables such as cucumbers or store bought broccoli slaw mix.For […]
I feel that inari zushi, or sweetened tofu pouches filled with sushi rice, are perhaps one of the most underrated forms of sushi. The sweetness of the seasoned pouches blends ever so well with the robust tanginess of sushi rice. Add a few choice chopped items to the sushi rice and you have a delicious, […]
If you’re vegan, there’s no need to forgo the rich style of sushi rolls that others enjoy. Here, eggplant is lightly battered and fried as a delicious main component of the roll. The roll is completed by a drizzling of tomato tofu puree, which adds a rich mayonnaise like creaminess.

During the sweltering days of summer, chilled tofu can be quite a delight as a side dish. This simple marinated tofu is equally delicious unadorned or sprinkled as desired with sesame seeds and thinly chopped scallions. Serve on a chilled plate or in a bowl filled with ice cubes and citrus wedges.
