Plant-Based Sushi Rolls

It’s one of those recipes that seems a little tricky but is actually super easy once you’ve gotten a hang of the rolling part, and it absolutely doesn’t have to look perfect to taste delicious!

This recipe is great to up your plant diversity, and we love to have a side of kimchi to add a touch of fermented food, which is very beneficial for our microbiota.

We hope you love it as much as we do ????

Servings 6

Ingredients

Rice

• ▢ 1 cup brown rice
• ▢ ½ tsp ground turmeric
• ▢ 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• ▢ 1 tsp maple syrup
• ▢ 1 pinch sea salt flakes

Filling

• ▢ 1 red bell pepper
• ▢ 1 yellow bell pepper
• ▢ 1 cucumbers
• ▢ 1 avocado
• ▢ 1 carrots
• ▢ 1 packet nori sheets
• ▢ 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Sides

• ▢ 2 cups frozen edamame in shells
• ▢ wasabi paste
• ▢ pickled ginger or kimchi
• ▢ tamari

Instructions

• Cook the brown rice as per the package instructions, adding turmeric to the water for a golden hue.
• Once cooked, mix in rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly and let it cool. This step can be done ahead of time.
• Prepare all vegetables: wash, deseed the cucumber using a spoon, and finely chop all.
• On a clean surface, lay out a sushi mat with horizontal slats. Place a nori sheet, shiny side down. With damp hands, spread rice over the lower third of the nori sheet.
• Arrange the vegetables in the center of the rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds. While holding the filling, roll the mat to enclose the rice and filling. Repeat for remaining ingredients.
• Using a moistened knife (rinse between cuts), slice each roll into 6 bite-sized sushi pieces. Serve with tamari and either pickled ginger or kimchi. For added protein, consider pairing with chili edamame or incorporating grilled tofu in the roll.
