Spicy Tofu Sushi Muffins

When I saw those little bites on TikTok from @torminell, I knew I had to try and veganize them. They’re going viral, and we can totally see why. Who doesn’t love a crunchy, savory bite?

To veganize them, we used the marinade from my tofu salmon recipe. Verdict? It was absolutely delicious. Now, we know it has nothing to do with traditional sushi—they’re more like little poke bowls in a cup—but if you’re looking for a new, fun, and easy snack, it’s definitely a hit!

What do you think? Would you give vegan sushi muffins a go?

Cooking Tips ✨

Wet your hands when handling sushi rice; it gets super sticky otherwise! 🍣”

Don’t wait too long to eat them, or they’ll lose their crunch!

If you want to save time, I think they’d also be great with store-bought teriyaki tofu.
