Vegan Sushi 2 ways: Spicy tuna and Tofu sushi rolls

Tofu sushi rolls

 Spicy Tuna sushi rolls

When you think of sushi it usually consist of dead raw fish (yuck) but today I'm going to teach you how to make 2 different types of delicious vegan sushi that would satisfy any sushi lovers out there!

Ingredients:

1 package of nori wraps

2 cups of cooked white rice, jasmine or sushi rice are best

1 cucumber sliced thinly

1 carrot shredded

1 red pepper sliced thinly

4-5 stems of green onions

1 pack of crispy onions

1 pack of tofu

Old bay seasoning

1 package of vegan cream cheese

Sweet and sour sauce

Spicy Tuna Ingredients:

2 cups of chickpeas

2 tbsp. of just mayo sriracha flavor

1 tbsp. of chopped jalapenos

1 tbsp. of sweet relish

paprika

salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cut tofu into strips and coat with old bay seasoning. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes flipping half way through.

2. In a high speed blender pulse chickpeas until shredded resembling real tuna from can. Place chickpeas in a bowl and mix in spicy mayo, jalapenos, relish, paprika, salt and pepper until it looks like traditional tuna salad you can adjust measurements to your liking.

3. Place your sliced cucumber, red pepper, carrots, and cucumber in to separate bowls so you can keep a clean organized area to prepare rolls on.

4. Mix cream cheese and sweet and sour spice in a bowl to make a sweet creamy sauce for the tofu rolls.

5. Also prepare of bowl with water in it, and a bowl of the cooked rice, you can add a few tsp of rice vinegar to your rice if you like.

*You should have all the ingredients organized to start rolling*

6. Lay out a nori sheet and use your finger to dab some water on the end of the sheet

7. Add a thin layer of rice to entire sheet except where you put the water bc that is where your wrap will seal.

8. Add all of the veggies on to the rice being careful not to over stuff your sushi, I usually just make a thin row of each veggie.

9. Add crispy onions

10. For the tofu wraps add a row of tofu as well as some of the sweet cream cheese dip we made.

11. For the spicy tuna wraps add a row of the tuna mix.

12. Slowly start rolling your sushi together making sure all of the ingredients are being secured tightly just as if you were rolling a burrito. Roll till the end and if you need more water to seal add more.

*If your wrap tears wrap a second nori sheet to keep everything together*

13. You can eat it like this as a sushi burrito pictured below, or you can slice it up for bite size sushi pieces. I usually make 5 to 6 pieces of sushi from each roll.

Both versions of the vegan sushi are delicious and filling. Of course you can add or take away ingredients to your liking but this is my favorite combo. The flavors together create heaven in your mouth from the crispy tofu slices and the sweet cream cheese with the light fresh veggies and the spicy tuna with the crunch from the crispy onions again with the veggies it is so yummy together! There is nothing that cant be prepared vegan friendly grab some sweet chili sauce and dig in!
