Tiba Tempeh Sushi Uramaki

Tempeh Sushi? No really!

Tiba Tempeh’s Soy Marinated Tempeh Pieces are the perfect plant-based addition to your homemade sushi dishes. Grab your favourite veggies, sticky rice, seaweed and a pack of Tiba Tempeh, and lets get rolling!

This recipe calls for our soy-marinated flavour of ready-to-go tempeh pieces, but you can swap this out for our sweet chilli or curry-spiced pieces, or even make your own marinade and use our traditional block! We also have a divine Hawaiian-inspired marinade used in our Poke Bowl recipe; it has that hint of ocean sometimes needed in traditionally fishy dishes.

With a little bit of culinary courage and a handy rolling utensil, you can create some little round rice shaped magic of your own! (A sushi mat would be great, but a sturdy kitchen towel will also do the trick.)

Still a bit shy? Take a look at our handy little process video on how to assemble here.

Serves

Cooking time

60 minutes

Ingredients

Tiba Tempeh Soy-Marinated Pieces
2 ½ cups uncooked sushi rice
nori seaweed
½ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup white sugar
½ tbsp salt

Filling of choice, for example:

carrot
cucumber
avocado
spring onion
wasabi

Method

For the rice:

Rinse sushi rice under cold water. Transfer to a pan with equal amounts of water. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and then allow to stand for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, dissolve the sugar in the rice vinegar over a low heat and add the salt. After the rice has rested, stir through.
Prepare your filling, aim for long and thin vegetable batons.

Sushi assembly:

Lay out your sushi mat (or DIY alternative)
Place your dried seaweed on the mat, rough side up
Evenly spread your sushi rice over the seaweed, ensuring that you leave an inch at the top edge of the seaweed
Place the tempeh and any other filling of your choosing on the rice halfway between the top and bottom of the mat
Place your thumbs under the edge of the mat or towel closest to you and lift it up and over the filling
Curve your fingers over the mat and gently press along the full length of the roll
As you continue rolling, pull the mat or towel back under your hands out of the way
Slice, eat and enjoy!
