Ingredient Notes

Here is everything you will need to make vegan sushi rolls (measurements can be found in the recipe card below):

Avocado – We love the creaminess avocado adds.
Radish – Crunchy and colorful, radish lends a crisp, pungent, and sweet flavor.
Enoki mushrooms – These can be eaten raw or steamed for 8 – 10 minutes before use to ensure no bacteria are present.
Red bell pepper – Feel free to use any color you prefer or have on hand.
Cucumber – Adds a refreshing coolness and crunchy texture.
Carrots – We love to julienne the carrots, but cutting into matchsticks works just as well.
Sprouts – Full of nutrients, micro spouts are a great addition to vegetarian sushi rolls.
Miso – Adds umami to the sushi roll and helps seal it closed. Plus, it has many health benefits (read more at Healthline)!
Hemp hearts – Give your sushi rolls a nice dose of heart-healthy omegas with these power-packed hemp seeds!
Nori sheets – Made of seaweed, nori sheets will be used to roll the ingredients. They can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.

How To Make Raw Vegan Sushi Rolls

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

After the first one, I improved immensely. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy.

Have fun and enjoy!
