Ingredients You'll Need
Before getting started, to make sure that you've the following ingredients ready:
Steps to Prepare
Now that we have gathered all the ingredients we need for our vegetarian Japanese sushi, let’s get started making it.
Step:- 1). First, wash the sushi rice thoroughly and cook them according to the instructions on the package.
Step:- 2). In the second step, mix rice vinegar, sugar as well as a pinch of salt in a separate small bowl or other container and then mix the prepared mixture with the cooked rice and keep it aside to cool.
Step:- 3). While the sushi rice is cooling, let's prepare the vegetables for our vegetarian sushi. Cut the vegetables of your choice into thin strips so that they will stick well when you roll them with the sushi rice.
Step:- 4). Here in the blog I'd mentioned avocado, cucumber, and carrot for an example, but you can use your own favorite veggies when you'll prep the recipe.
Step:- 5). Take a sushi mat which is made of bamboo and place a sheet of nori/seaweed on it. Now spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly on this nori sheet. Place the vegetable strips that you just cut in between the rice. Roll the sushi mat tightly with the sushi on it. Carefully use a sharp knife to cut the roll into smaller pieces.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Veg Sushi
Keep your hands moist when handling the sushi rice to prevent sticking.
Although, traditionally sushi in Japan is served with wasabi (a hot-green sauce made from the horseradish plant, a root vegetable) and green tea, you can also serve it with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
Now that you have mastered the art of making Japanese style veg sushi at home, impress your friends and family with this delicious and healthy dish.
