Yuzu Shiso Tofu Onigirazu is a delightful fusion of traditional Japanese flavors with a modern twist. Originating from Japan, onigirazu is a type of sushi sandwich that combines the simplicity of a rice ball with the versatility of a sandwich. This version features the refreshing citrusy notes of yuzu, the aromatic herbaceousness of shiso leaves, and the umami-packed goodness of marinated tofu. Wrapped in a sheet of nori, this onigirazu offers a perfect blend of textures, from the soft rice to the crisp seaweed. It’s a favorite among those seeking a healthy, portable, and flavor-packed meal. Ideal for picnics, bento boxes, or a quick lunch, it’s a dish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stove according to package instructions.
Step 2
While the rice cooks, cut the tofu into slices. Mix yuzu juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl. Marinate the tofu slices in this mixture for 15 minutes.
Step 3
In a large pan, cook the marinated tofu over medium heat until golden on both sides.
Step 4
Once the rice is cooked, mix with vinegar and salt. Let it cool slightly.
Step 5
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Place a layer of rice in the center, top with tofu, shiso leaves, and another layer of rice.
Step 6
Fold the corners of the nori over the filling to form a square shape. Press gently to seal.
Step 7
Wrap the onigirazu tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing in half to serve.
