Fish and I are not friends. It's a very sad state of affairs, but I trudge along. Sushi is probably my number two envy food, hearing the stories of folks laughing and enjoying their deliciously light sushi for lunch or how excited they are to try a new place. It makes me cry a little inside.
Thankfully for me, I have amazing friends who brought amazing vegan sushi to my house. And then offered to teach me how to make it!
We used nori, aka sushi seaweed wraps, brown rice, and a smattering of vegetables and sauces like yellow peppers, avocado, fennel, carrots, kale, tahini and Ume plum vinegar. Then we really got the creative juices flowing and decided to make "Mediterranean" sushi using olives.
Making the rolls were a snap. Using simple bamboo mats you roll the ingredients into the nori, let it sit for a few minutes and the slice. Voila!
Even though it's "sushi" and "vegan" it doesn't mean it's hard or scary. It was super easy and fun to make using many ingredients you probably already have. I've already purveyed my bamboo mats (they were under $10) and am concocting ideas on how to make an Ume vinegar substitute using local plums.
Now it's your turn to get out there and taste something new.
