How To Make Raw Vegan Sushi Rolls

  1. Lay the nori sheet on the bamboo sushi mat. On the far end, spread 1 teaspoon of miso along the edge, add a sprinkle of hemp hearts.
  2. At the end closest to you, layer the veggies starting with the avocado, cucumber, carrots, radish, mushrooms, and sprouts.

RAW VEGAN SUSHI ROLLS

Raw vegan sushi rolls are gluten free, grain free, and so easy to make. Perfect for a light lunch or dinner!

  • Prep Time: 15 min
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 3 rolls 1x
  • Category: Entree, Snack
  • Cuisine: Vegan

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 raw nori sheets (I used these ā€“ Amazon, or these ā€“ Vitacost are good too)
  • 3 teaspoons miso paste, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons hemp hearts, divided
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 radishes, julienned
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1 small red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 batch enoki mushrooms
  • pea shoots or sprouts of your choice

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Nama Shoyu, tamari, or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 4 teaspoons scallions, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste

Instructions

Lay a nori sheet on the bamboo sushi mat.

Start by spreading your miso paste along the farthest edge of the nori sheet. Add some of the hemp hearts to the miso paste, gently press so the seeds stay put.

Next, on the end closest to you, add some avocado, cucumber, carrots, red pepper, radish, mushrooms and sprouts.

Finally, roll and slice.

Makes 3 rolls

Notes

Use your favorite miso, I used mellow miso (white or yellow), but red miso with a bolder flavor would be great too!

Make this dipping sauce oil free by omitting the oil.

For other dipping sauces, try this Dynamite Sauce (tahini based) or Sriracha Cashew Cream Sauce.

    You could replace rice with quinoa!

    A good raw rice for sushi(or really any other dish) is cauliflower and jicima slightly purred.
