Ingredients
For the sushi rice:
- 2 cup Rice cooked
- ½ cup Rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
For rolling and topping:
- 3 Nori sheet
- Avocado slices
For the vegan spicy tune filling:
- ½ cup Chickpeas drained from a can or freshly cooked
- 2 Tbsp Vegan mayo
- 1 Tbsp Wakame dried seaweed grind them in a spice grinder
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Hot sauce to taste
To serve with:
- Pickled ginger, wasabi, soy sauce
Instructions
Making the sushi rice:
- In a saucepan combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt and whisk until dissolved.
- Bring to a boil.
- Take off the stove and set aside to let cool down.
- When the rice is cooked and still hot, pour the vinegar mixture over it.
- Mix to combine and and set aside to let cool down.
Making the spicy tuna California roll:
- In a food processor blend together: chickpeas, vegan mayo, wakame powder, lemon juice, salt and hot sauce.
- Spread the rice evenly all over the nori sheet as you did before.
- Spread some toasted sesame seeds over the rice.
- Now we need to flip the nori sheet upside down:
- Gently place one hand under the nori sheet from the middle, lift it up, and place the rice side on the bamboo mat slowly laying it all down.
- Spread around 3 Tbsp spicy tuna filling we made earlier horizontally at the near edges of the sheet.
- Roll the sushi as we did earlier ( following the same steps).
- Place the thin avocado slices over the sushi roll, overlapping each other to cover the top entirely.
- Now cover with a cling film and press gently with both hand (as we did when rolling the suhi roll).
- Remove the cling film, wet a sharp knife and; without pressure; cut into 8 pieces.
- Place your beautiful delicious vegan sushi rolls on a plate served with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce. Enjoy your hard work
