Until I was vegan, I never had sushi. My idea of sushi was "Ewww....raw fish." Now I know that not all sushi is made with raw fish or even with animal products at all. The word sushi refers to the rice, with some definitions saying it means "vinegared rice" and others saying "seasoned rice."
A chain grocery store in a nearby town recently remodeled, and now they make sushi right in the store! There are a few vegan options for us: veggie rolls, vegetable gyoza, and veggie wraps. I absolutely love the veggie rolls.
Carrot, avocado, cucumber, nori, rice, and sesame seeds. Served with a bit of pickled ginger and wasabi, (which I don't really care for.)
I also got the vegetable gyoza, seen in the picture below. A few seconds in the microwave, with the gyoza in a small bowl and a saucer turned over top, and they were ready to eat.
I really should start making sushi at home. I've seen tutorials on it a few times and don't think I would have a problem making it, but so far I just haven't tried.
Your turn: Do you like vegan sushi? Do you make it at home, buy it at a grocery, or indulge at a restaurant?
