Sushi Burrito with Crispy Tofu

Whoever decided to fuse Mexican with Japanese flavours and roll them up in an upsized sushi roll has my unending gratitude. Portland, Oregon will forever be in my heart for introducing me to the sushi burrito and this Crispy Tofu Sushi Burrito brings a little Portland in to my home whenever I need it.

What is a Sushi Burrito?

The sushi burrito or “sushirrito” has been around for a few years now but I only discovered it on our recent trip to the States. This happens a lot – trends happen and I remain oblivious perched in my house on a mountain until months sometimes years later, awareness creeps in. Thankfully I made it just in time with my Simple Sweet Potato Toast Recipes.

I don’t think anyone can accuse me of following fads because I generally don’t know what the fads are. For the longest time I thought LOL was “Lots of Love” and found it odd people I hardly knew were texting me love. I wish abridged text language was a fad but I think that fad is here to stay. Sorry “FIHTS”. LOL.

Like many trends, the sushi burrito’s origin is hazy with many staking claim to the original concept. One thing that seems consistent is that this fusion began on the West Coast a few years ago and has been marching east (and north and south) ever since. Origins aside I believe any opportunity to smoosh two of my favourite things in to one portable yet wonderfully messy meal is a gift from the kitchen gods. Add crispy tofu – like in my Crispy Tofu Lemongrass Bowl – and I am a pig in mud.

How to Make A Sushirrito

The trick to making this fusion burrito is balance. Mexican flavours are robust while Japanese flavours tend to be more subtle. Finding a middle road where both cuisines shine is the trick to creating the perfect sushi burrito.

I limit my Mexican ingredients to one or two. In this crispy tofu sushi burrito I use vegan chipotle mayonnaise and a touch of cayenne to bring in a little smoke and subtle spice.

The second trick is to inject as much flavour in to the roll as you can. Unlike traditional sushi, dipping a burrito in to a bowl of soy sauce can be problematic.

All the flavour needs to be in the rolls.

Simples, right?

• balance
• flavour and I will add,
• fun

Once, you’ve worked out your balance, it’s time to play. In order to create a burst of balanced flavour in my crispy tofu sushi burrito I added kimchi. I know, Korean. But it works so well with the other flavours and gives the roll a delicious tart lift. Besides, you should always play with your food.

Salty and crisp tofu, sweet sushi rice, creamy avocado with warming chipotle, pickled ginger and kimchi, this vegan sushi burrito is a fusion party. If you are looking for an exotic lunch or a fun dinner protect with the kids, you will love this crispy tofu sushi burrito. Simple, fun and hopefully not a fad. Enjoy, x.
