I've been trying to eat raw vegan all week, and I've reached ultimate boredom. Ready to throw in the towel and order a huge chirashi bowl, I decided to stick it out and make some raw vegan sushi. It's all in the rice and in this case it's made of cauliflower. Still need to work on rolling and cutting my roll, but if eating raw is like this for every meal then sign me up.
Sushi
Makes one roll
1 sheet of nori
1/8 head of cauliflower
1/8 avocado
1 crimini mushroom chopped into tiny pieces
1. Place the cauliflower into a food processor until smooth to make that "rice" like quality.
2. Spread out your nori, and put about a three inch width row of cauliflower down your nori.
3. Then add the mushrooms and avocado on top. You could also do some sprouts or pickled ginger too.
4. Carefully roll into a burrito and push all sides of the nori so the insides soften the crispiness of the nori.
5. Using a sharp knife cut into smaller pieces, and serve with whatever you'd like.
Miso cucumber salad
Serves 1
1/2 English cucumber
1/2 tbsp. miso paste (you can find it at Whole Foods)
1/4 tbsp. rice vinegar
1/4 tsp. dark sesame oil
1/4 tbsp. honey
Hot water
Red pepper flakes
1. Slice the cucumber lengthwise so the seeds are showing in the middle.
2. Scoop out the seeds and slice the cucumber halves into little semi-circles.
3. Mix all remaining ingredients to make the paste. Use hot water as necessary to make it less paste-like and more like a sauce.
4. Add the cucumbers and mix to cover in the sauce.
5. Red pepper flakes to garnish and serve.
