Tofu Sushi - Recipe below...

This recipe makes 12 pieces which serves 2 people.
The vinegar mixture is enough for 4 or 5 uses.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups medium or short grain rice
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
4 tsp salt
10cm piece of konbu seaweed
12 tofu sushi skins


METHOD
Cook the rice (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8oFWw...)
Mix the vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
Place in on a medium-low heat (do not let it boil).
Heat gently while stiring until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
Turn off the heat and add the seaweed.
Stir it to make sure the seaweed is submerged.
Leave it to cool for 20-30 minutes.
When it is cool, remove the seaweed.
There is enough vinegar mixture to use four or five times, so
pour it into a storage container.

Put the rice in a large shallow bowl. In the video I use a traditional wooden bowl
which is called 'hangiri'.
Pour 1/4 cup (50ml) of the vinegar mixture over the rice.
Toss the rice to mix the vinegar evenly through it.
Spread the rice out as much as possible and fan it for 30 seconds.
Divide the rice into 12 even portions. This is best done by dividing it
first in two, then four and then divide each quarter into three.
In a small bowl place some water with 1/10 part of the vinegar mixture.
For example 100ml water and 10ml vinegar. This is for wetting your fingers
before handling the rice. It helps stop the rice from sticking to your fingers.

For each rice portion, press it into a ball with your hands. Remember to
dip your fingers in the vinegar water before each one.

Warm the 12 tofu sushi skins in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Wet your fingers again in the vinegar water.
Pick up one of the skins, open the pocket and insert one of the rice balls.
Fold over the open side of the pocket and place it on a plate with the fold
facing down. Repeat for the remaining skins and rice balls.
