A Cruelty-Free Taste of the Sea! 🌊

"How can vegan sushi even taste like sushi, when there's no seafood in it?!"

Seafood (aka seaweed) is what they're wrapped in, and what's served beside it, as a salad.
Sea animals, like crabs processed into crab sticks, don't taste like anything at all, yet crab stick Cali rolls still taste like sushi, right? So what makes this any different?
Our only limitations are what we set for ourselves -but our options are plenty!

Cruelty-Free Sushi Recipe

Instead of rice, I usually use quinoa (see pictures below).
I over-cook it, and add a bit of apple cider vinegar to make it more like sticky rice.
You can even add a tablespoon of very soft avocado and little bit of shredded zucchini to the quinoa, for a stickier texture.

The different rolls in the pictures are combinations of the following:
-Avocados
-Cucumber
-Red & yellow bell peppers
-Asparagus
-Red onions
-Mangoes marinated in smoked mesquite
Remember: Kelp is always a big help. Both for taste and for health.

Cut all the veggies julienne, spread the quinoa, and start rolling. You can sprinkle on some sesame seeds, kelp, and spirulina, both as garnish and a taste of the sea.

Play around and experiment with your ingredients. Mix and match, any & all, veggies to make your rolls.
Just let your palate guide you to the right flavor combinations and food creations.

I made these with a seaweed salad on the side.
The salad was a combination of the following seaweeds (all raw, organic, & easy for the body to absorb) wakame, hijiki, arame, kelp, a few drops of coconut aminos, sesame seed oil, and black & white sesame seeds.

I use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, a few drops of lime, crushed garlic, chili, and finely chopped cayenne pepper. No wasabi necessary 💚 Add your pickled ginger and serve!

If you're looking for a wasabi substitute, try crushing up some papaya seeds into your coconut amino sauce. They taste just like mild wasabi, and they're also an amazing parasite cleanse.
If you can't get your hands on coconut aminos, gluten-free Tamari sauce is still slightly better than soy sauce.

Here are some other ingredients you can play with:

-Zucchini
-Chopped Arugula
-Chopped Baby Spinach
-Spicy Pineapple. Thin strips of pineapple, slightly sauteed with cayenne and cilantro.
-Chives
-Tomato Tuna. Slightly boiled, peeled, seeded, cut, and marinated in kelp & a few drops of coconut aminos (tastes and feels like raw tuna)

Make different rolls, use what you already have in the fridge, but I do recommend always having some avocado and cucumber in the mix.

I made this recipe-pic below a few years ago. Feel free to save it as a kitchen cheat-sheet.

If you find yourself out of nori papers, use flat strips of cucumber or zucchini to wrap your sushi in. Let your creativity and imagination flow..
