I love traditions. And maybe it’s just the Type A in me that secretly really loves structures and order. Or maybe I just really love pizza. Because as soon as I landed in Holland 9 months ago, I initiated pizza Friday’s. But then the boyfriend tulip-man dropped the fact that he doesn’t like pizza on me, and all structure nearly went out the window. But pizza was quickly replaced by sushi Friday’s, and things haven’t been tastier (or more $$$$) since. That is until this Coconut Tempura Tofu Sushi. Around the time that sushi Friday’s began, Marisa Baggett, author of the new cookbook Vegetarian Sushi Secrets, reached out to me. What stemmed from this were a few very exciting things: Today we’re rolling up the Coconut Tempura Tofu Sushi from Vegetarian Sushi Secrets, using quinoa rice instead of sushi rice! It’s a really customizable sushi recipe, so use whatever sushi rice variation suits your fancy (she has many kinds of sushi “rices” in the cookbook), or whatever fillings you’re feeling.
