Veggie sushi rolls are a great way to enjoy the flavors and textures of sushi while incorporating nutritious vegetables into your meal.
INGREDIENTS
- Sushi rice (1 cup)
- Nori sheets (seaweed sheets)
- Assorted vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, avocado, etc.), thinly sliced
- Soy sauce (for dipping)
- Pickled ginger (for serving)
- Wasabi (for serving)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions and let it cool to room temperature.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the mat.
- Place a nori sheet on the bamboo mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking to them.
- Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the top.
- Arrange the thinly sliced vegetables in a row along the bottom edge of the nori sheet.
- Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the nori sheet and rice over the vegetables. Apply gentle pressure to ensure a tight roll.
- Wet a sharp knife with water and slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the veggie sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
TIPS
