• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Cook sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.
2. In a bowl, mix the cooked rice with sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
3. Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and squeeze to remove excess water.
4. Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot and cucumber, and slice the pickled radish.
5. Pan-fry the tofu in a non-stick skillet until golden brown on all sides, then slice it into strips.
6. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat or a clean surface, shiny side down.
7. Spread a thin layer of rice across the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge.
8. Arrange a line of spinach, carrots, cucumber, pickled radish, and tofu along the center of the rice.
9. Carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the filling intact.
10. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
11. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with black sesame seeds before serving.
