I've been dying to make some vegan sushi. Especially after seeing others eat sushi, I just want some! So why not have some? Vegan sushi that is! This is my first try and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. We loved this dinner, what a fun way to eat vegetables! :)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa (or rice) - cooked with 1 cup of water
- Green onions
- A few fresh herbs (I used: oregano, thyme, cilantro) - sliced thin; sprig of parsley to decorate.
- Dash of soy sauce and hot sauce
- 1 carrot - sliced thin lengthwise
- 1 cucumber - sliced thin lengthwise
- Almond Jalapeno Jack Cheese - 2 slices (or your favorite vegan cheese)
- 1 small handful sprouts (we use mung bean sprouts)
- 1/2 onion - sliced thin
- 1 avocado - sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper - sliced thin
- Roasted Seaweed - Sushi Nori sheet
- Wasabi
- Prepare quinoa (we use our rice cooker)
- Add green onions, herbs and sauce to cooked quinoa and set aside. Cool to room temperature.
- Prepare vegetables.
- Place Sushi Nori with shiny side down on clean surface. Spread quinoa (or rice) evenly and leave a one inch space at the edge.
- Place fillings.
- Roll sushi until the edge of the nori is placed under the sushi
- Shape the roll by pressing slightly with both hands. Slice into six + pieces.
- Serve with soy sauce and wasabi
