Serving Suggestions

Serve Vegan Sushi Rolls with a side of soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for a classic sushi experience. They’re ideal as a light lunch or appetizer and pair wonderfully with a side of miso soup or a crisp green salad.

For a more substantial meal, enjoy them alongside a bowl of edamame or some crispy tempura vegetables. You can also make a sushi platter by slicing the rolls into bite-sized pieces and arranging them on a serving tray for a visually appealing and delicious spread.

Pairing Ideas

Vegan Sushi Rolls are versatile and pair well with a variety of accompaniments. They complement other Japanese-inspired dishes such as seaweed salad, vegetable gyoza, or soba noodles.

The fresh, crisp nature of the rolls also works well with fruit-based salads or light, citrusy dishes. For a fun twist, serve them with a side of spicy hummus or a tangy dipping sauce to add a unique flavor dimension.

Tips and Notes

  • Rice: Use short-grain sushi rice for the best texture. Season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for the perfect flavor balance. Ensure the rice is cool before assembling the rolls.
  • Vegetables: Choose a variety of colorful, fresh vegetables such as cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and carrots. Slice them into thin strips for easy rolling.
  • Nori: Toast the nori sheets lightly before using them to enhance their flavor and make them easier to roll.
  • Rolling: Use a bamboo sushi mat to help roll the sushi tightly. Be gentle but firm to ensure the rolls hold together.
  • Storage: Store leftover sushi rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be eaten cold if stored properly.

Equipment

  • 1 Sushi mat
  • 1 Rice cooker (or pot)
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 and 1/2 cups sushi rice - rinsed
  • 2 cups water - for cooking rice
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar - for seasoning rice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar - for seasoning rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt - for seasoning rice
  • 4 sheets nori - seaweed
  • 1 medium cucumber - julienned
  • 1 medium carrot - julienned
  • 1 avocado - sliced
  • 1 bell pepper - thinly sliced
  • Pickled ginger - for serving
  • Soy sauce - for dipping
  • Wasabi - optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sushi rice in a rice cooker or pot, using 2 cups of water.
  • Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice.
  • Lay a sheet of nori on the sushi mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top.
  • Arrange your choice of vegetables in a line along the bottom of the rice-covered nori.
  • Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
  • Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between slices for clean cuts.
  • Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi on the side.
