Vegan Vegetable Plant-based Sushi with ginger sauce {gluten-free, vegan, healthy, dairy-free, raw vegan}
Sushi is one of my favorite foods. Every Friday night I would go out to my favorite Japanese restaurant, order my favorite roll and enjoy. Sadly, once the virus hit and everything closed I was not able to order sushi. So, being the chef/baker that I am, I was determined to still have sushi Friday’s so I decided to try my hand at making my own.
Now, this recipe contains no fish because no matter how good a cook I am I will never use raw fish in a recipe. So, this recipe is vegan but if you’re confident enough to use fish then go ahead. Replace some of the veggies or tempeh that I use.
One of my favorite parts about this recipe is how easy it is to make. Seriously! All you need are a handful of ingredients, about 10 minutes of your time (if that) and voila, have made beautiful vegetable sushi that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, paleo, raw vegan, healthy and 100% made by you!

Ingredients
- Pack of Organic GF Sushi Seaweed Sheets – you only need 1-2 sheets for this recipe
- 1 carrot- thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup micro-greens
- Pack of non seasoned Tempeh (optional) – omit if only making vegetable sushi
- Small Cucumber – thinly sliced
- 1 avocado – sliced
- 1/2 cup white rice – replace with brown rice for healthier version
- 2 tsp chili powder (only use if making recipe with tempeh)
- 1 tsp turmeric (only use if making with tempeh)
- 1 tsp curry powder (only use if making with tempeh)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (only use if making tempeh)
- Pack of Sushi Ginger or use ginger sauce or gluten free soy sauce (all optional)

Directions
- Cook rice as directed on package. Once cooked drain water but don’t rinse off, you want it sticky. Set down to cool.
- Cook tempeh- if not making this recipe with tempeh then skip to step 3. Add olive oil to pan, place 3 strips of 1/2 inch wide cut tempeh into pan, season with spices and cook until crispy. Let cool.
- Place a sheet of seaweed paper onto a plate or cutting board. Add cooled rice, sliced tempeh, sliced carrot, sliced avocado, 1/2 of the 1/4 cup micro greens, few strips of cucumber. Make sure to leave some room on the sides of the seaweed paper. Then roll up.
- Repeat this process with the remainder of ingredients or until you have the desired number of sushi rolls you want.
- Top with wasabi, sushi ginger, gluten-free soy sauce or gluten-free ginger sauce (optional).
