If you are a vegetarian, then you probably know what it's like to feel left out when you're dining with your meat-eating friends. Sushi is deffinately one of those times when I feel left out! But then, I had an idea... Why not invite your friends over to have vegetable sushi with you?! It's better than it sounds, trust me! And there are many different variations you can make! You also can use egg omlet, sweet potato, avocado, cucumber, carrots, brocoli, etc. And you can feel free to mix and match any of those fillings!
Ingredients (for the sushi):
Sushi rice or sticky rice
Nori/ roasted seaweed sheets
Avocado
Carrots
Cucumber
sesame seeds
Water
Ingredients (for the sauce):
Soy sauce
Chili paste
Sesame seeds
You can make your own sushi rice if you'd like, but I prefer the microwavable sticky rice! Whichever meathod you prefer, have your rice ready and a sheet of seaweed on your bamboo mat. To one half of the seaweed, evernly spread out the sticky rice. Toward the top, add your desired amount of veggie filling. Turn the top toward you. With your fingers, add a small amount of water at the dry end of the seaweed to help it stick at the end. Start rolling the bamboo mat and tucking in the edge of the seaweed as needed. Roll until the whole sushi roll is wrapped up tight. Then you can cut up your rolls into sushi pieces, however big or small you like! In a seperate dish, combine desired amount of soy sauce, sesame seeds, and chili paste. Mix, and enjoy!
