Vegan sushi: Sriracha coconut sweet potato & quinoa
Fish can sleep soundly thanks to these scrumptious vegan sushi!
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked fair-trade quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 6 nori sheets
- 1 portion of Sriracha coconut sweet potato fries
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 1 spring onion minced
- Small bowl of water to rinse your fingers
- For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons shoyu soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Juice of half a lemon/lime
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek or hot pepper flakes or hot sauce
- 1 large garlic clove crushed
- 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa and the fries a few hours in advance and let cool completely.
- Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa well. Place in a pot, add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook covered for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat, let sit for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork. Put the lid back on and let cool completely.
- Make the sauce by whisking all the ingredients together. Set aside.
- Gather all your ingredients. I suggest you keep a small bowl of water (to help the nori stick) and a clean cloth (to dry your hands) close by.
- Place a nori sheet, rough side up, on a clean chopping board. Spread about 4 tablespoons of quinoa evenly, leaving about an inch at the extremity of the nori. Garnish with fries, avocado and green onion. Fold the sheet on the garnishes, press a little and roll applying constant pressure to get a tight roll. When you get to the end, wet your fingers and pat the end of the nori to help seal the roll. Set aside.
- Repeat the same steps for all the rolls. To serve, cut each roll into two large pieces, and then cut each half into three sushi, using a sharp knife. So each roll will give you 6 pieces.
Notes
I like to only cut my rolls into two smaller rolls, spring roll size, and bring them as a lunch!
You’ll have enough quinoa and fries to make at least 2-3 more rolls. Plan a second avocado and more nori sheets if you plan on making more sushi.
You can also use a sushi rolling mat, but I don’t own one and I find it easier to work with my bare hands!
