Sushi is so flexible, making it perfect for vegans! Wonderful for appetizers, lunch or main course.

Preparation
  • Cook the rice and allow it to cool to room temperature, or use left over rice.
Cooking Instructions
  • Place the rice in a large bowl and drizzle it with the brown rice vinegar and mirin, gently mix.
  • Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the sushi mat.
  • Spread ¼ cup of rice over the nori using the rice paddle or your hands dipped in water, leaving ¼ bare on top edge.
  • Sprinkle ¼ of the sesame seeds over the rice
  • Make a canal with the rice paddle (or wooden spoon/hands) across the middle of the rice-covered nori sheet.
  • Place some carrot, cucumber avocado, watercress and daikon or sauerkraut in neat lines across canal.
  • Add a thin line of Umeboshi paste across the vegetables
  • Starting with the end nearest to you, roll the sushi, making sure the filling is contained in the middle of the roll.
  • Unroll the mat, moisten the top edge of the sheet, and roll until the nori is sealed.
  • Cut the sushi into halves, and then quarters, using a slant or straight cut.
  • Dip your knife into a bowl of water mixed with some vinegar after each cut for easier cutting.
  • Serve with Ginger-Tamari Dipping Sauce.
