    Directions

      1. Cook the sushi rice according to the packet instructions and while it is cooking prepare the sushi rice dressing. To do this, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a small dish. When the rice is cooked, pour the dressing over the top (while it is still hot) and then stir to coat the rice and fluff it up.

      1. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place something heavy on top, like a cast-iron skillet, to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes. Place the tofu cubes in a large bowl, and add cornstarch. Mix well. Heat a skillet. Add oil to fry the tofu cubes. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu, and flip until the coating becomes crispy golden.

      2. Also prepare the teriyaki marinade by mixing the maple syrup, sesame oil, soy sauce, and garlic granules together in a small dish. Pour the marinade into a small frying pan over a high heat. When it begins to bubble, turn the heat down to simmering and stir it constantly until it has reduced, turning from watery sauce to a thicker, glaze consistency. Add the crispy tofu to the pan and stir so that the tofu is fully coated in the glaze.

      1. Put all ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy (add a little more water if needed). Depending on whether and how much sriracha/chili paste you add, the sauce becomes more or less orange/reddish.
