Easy Vegan Sushi Recipe | Avocado, Cucumber, and Carrots
If you love sushi and want to try a plant-based version, this vegan sushi recipe is perfect for you! Made with fresh avocado, cucumber, and carrots, it's a combination that you'll absolutely love. To make the sushi, start by cooking one cup of sushi rice with one cup of water and a tablespoon of rice vinegar in an instant pot. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool down. While the rice is cooling, prepare your veggies by slicing the carrots, cucumber, and avocado into thin strips. Get a sheet of seaweed and place it shiny side down. Add the rice all the way to the edges, leaving a section at the top. This section will be used to secure the sushi later. Next, add your veggies on top of the rice. Wet your fingers with a little water and moisten the top section of the seaweed to act as a glue. Carefully roll the sushi, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the sushi into bite-sized pieces. And that's it! Your vegan sushi is ready to enjoy.
