This afternoon both Hannah and Liam are a friend’s house so I am making my husband some vegetarian sushi!
We love sushi so much, it is difficult to make it while the kids are home because they think it is “weird.” They don’t know what they are missing out on :D
My husband is doing some yard work so I am going to surprise him with it and some soup for dinner. I can’t wait.
Vegetarian sushi is delicious and fairly easy to make. Here are the sushi and soup recipes that I like using when we finally get to indulge.
Ingredients-
• 2 cups short grain or medium grain rice
• ¼ cup rice vinegar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 package of roasted seaweed sheets
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into long narrow strips
• 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced into long narrow strips
• 1 avocado, removed skin and sliced into long narrow strips
• 1 block of cream cheese, sliced into long narrow strips
• Soy sauce and wasabi for dipping and garnish
Directions-
• Cook the rice as to package instructions and let cool. Mix the rice vinegar and salt in a small bowl and pour over the cooked rice. Use your fingers to mix the rice and mixture together.
• Place the seaweed sheet, shiny side down, on the sushi roller and spread sticky rice evenly across. Leave a one inch tab of seaweed on one edge. Place carrot strip, cucumber strip, cream cheese, and avocado across the rice bed.
• Dab the exposed tab of seaweed with wet fingers and use the sushi roller to roll your roll making sure you are using enough pressure to keep the rice sticky.
• Cut your roll into small pieces and Enjoy!
Ingredients-
• 4 cups water
• ½ cup chopped green onion
• ½ cup chopped green chard
• ¼ cup firm tofu, cubed
• 3-4 tbsp. white miso paste
• 1 sheet or ¼ cup nori, cut in large rectangles
Directions-
• Place water in a medium sauce pan, bring to low simmer then add nori and simmer for 5-7 minutes more.
• Place the miso paste into a small bowl, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth. Add to the soup and stir so it doesn’t clump.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes. Add salt to taste if desired and enjoy.
This recipe can be used with a variety of vegetables and you can add and take away spices or sauces to create your unique roll.
It is going to be a delicious dinner!
