Vegan Sushi
Vegan Sushi here uses cooked sushi rice spread over nori sheets with fillings including cucumber, carrot, tofu, avocado, and roasted red bell pepper, sprinkled with black sesame seeds. The rolls are tightly rolled with a bamboo mat, sealed with water, then sliced for a plant-based sushi option with varied textures from crisp vegetables to creamy avocado and firm tofu.

Ingredients
- 400 g sushi rice cooked
- 4 heet nori
- 0.5 cucumber cut into slices
- 1 carrot grated
- 75 g tofu cooked
- 1 avocado cut into slices
- 1 red bell pepper cut into slices, roasted
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook your sushi rice according to our Sushi Rice recipe.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. Put the cooked sushi rice onto the nori and spread to cover the nori.
- Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
- Lay the fillings across the centre of the nori.
- Using a bamboo rolling mat, roll up from the bottom, tightly away from you. Leave a small amount of nori unrolled. Wet this part of the nori with water and finish rolling to seal it.
- Dip a sharp knife into some water and then slice the roll. Dip the knife into water each time you make a cut. Slice each roll into 10 pieces.

Notes
- Use 130g of raw sushi rice to yield approximately 400g cooked rice required by the recipe.
- Wet the knife before each cut to prevent rice sticking and to ensure clean slices.
- Always place the nori shiny side down on the rolling mat so the rice adheres to the rough side and presentation is better.
- If water does not seal your nori roll, use cooked rice grains pressed along the edge instead.
- Allow sushi rice to cool fully before assembly to prevent sogginess of the nori.
- Handle sticky sushi rice with wet hands or a spoon for easier spreading and rolling.
