CLICK February: (Cheese/Tofu)
My plan was to make some sushi with baked marinated tofu but I failed big time in the rolling department. Making sushi is such an art that one should plan to take a class or at least have repeated tries before producing very good sushi. I have problem in that the sushi rice didn’t cover the filling completely. All my rice went to one place and the filling stayed in another place, it’s like they hated each other 
This is a very easy recipe though, just pile up the tofu, cucumbers, carrots, green onion, a dab of wasabi and then roll it. But in the end, I used all my tofu to make a stir-fry dish, using garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a bit of sesame sauce. Eaten with hot rice, it’s just better than my mediocre sushi!
I’m submitting my top photo for the CLICK event this month that has the theme Cheese/Tofu.

I hope you don’t mind advice from another sushi fanatic. Spread the rice thinly over the whole nori sheet, leaving only about 1/2 inch plain nori visible on one short end. Place your filling (not too much) above the rice 1 inch from the rice-covered end, and start rolling from the covered end. Apply pressure with your fingers to tuck the filling in. The rice will slip a bit as you roll, and will usually cover the other end by the time you’re done rolling. If not, just snip off the ‘naked’ end. Hope this helps.
Great pictures!
thanks for your advice. i think i always put too much filling and too thick of a rice.
