Notes:
Try it at home Experiment with different variations on this simple vegan Garden Sushi recipe and see what you like best.
A Rainbow of Plant Possibilities: Substitute any of the plant fillings for these other excellent options from the garden: radishes, green onions, edamame soybeans, purple cabbage, sprouts, and red bell peppers.
Wrap It Up! Try your Garden Sushi another way: roll it in the lettuce leaves to make wraps. Simply put one spoon of sushi in the middle of lettuce with veggies and roll like a burrito. Use a toothpick to hold your wrap together if you’re not eating it immediately. This is a good attractive option for appetizers or a nice simple fresh lunch.
Traditional Seaweed Roll Style: Try using traditional Nori seaweed paper. Make a line of rice on the sushi paper, put your veggies on, and roll it up. Slice your sushi roll into pieces or eat it as a roll burrito-style. You can also try cutting the sushi paper in half to make smaller sushi wraps. The advantage of Nori seaweed wraps over lettuce is that they stick to the sushi rice and hold together very well. This is the best option for packing in a school lunch or picnic to go.
