Recipe for Vegan Sushi Rolls on Sticks
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and cooled
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- Soy sauce, for dipping
- Wasabi and pickled ginger, for serving
- Bamboo skewers
Preparation:
- Season the Rice:
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
- Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Fillings:
- Slice the avocado thinly.
- Cut the cucumber and carrot into long, thin strips (julienne).
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top without rice.
- Arrange a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot in a line at the bottom of the rice.
- Carefully roll the nori tightly over the filling, using the bamboo mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut and Skewer:
- With a sharp, wet knife, cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.
- Carefully skewer each piece through the middle with a bamboo skewer.
- Serve:
- Arrange the sushi sticks on a modern, white serving plate.
- Serve with small dishes of soy sauce for dipping and sides of wasabi and pickled ginger.
