  • In a large saucepan cover rice with water and let stand for 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish combine soy sauce, honey, and garlic. In this mixture, marinate tofu for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bring water and rice to a boil and then reduce heat; simmer for about 20 minutes, or until thick and sticky. In a large glass bowl, combine cooked rice with rice vinegar.
  • Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Working with wet hands, spread 1/4 of rice evenly over nori; leave about 1/2 inch on the top edge of the nori. Place 2 strips of marinated tofu end to end about 1 inch from the bottom. Place 2 strips of cucumber next to tofu, then avocado and carrot.
  • Roll nori tightly from the bottom, using the mat to help make a tight roll. Seal by moistening the top 1/2 inch with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice with a serrated knife into 1-inch thick slices.
