Recipe Description

These innovative vegan spicy tomato sushi rolls turn the ocean’s bounty into a plant-based feast. Marinated tomato fillets mimic the taste and texture of tuna, offering a spicy, umami-packed bite nestled within sushi rice and nori. Paired with crisp cucumber and avocado, each roll is a harmony of flavors and textures, making for a stunningly delicious and ethical sushi experience.

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe tomato
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce for serving

Steps:

  1. a. Boil water in a pot. Make an X incision at the bottom of the tomato and blanch it for about 1 minute. Immediately transfer it to ice water.
  2. b. Peel the skin, remove the seeds, and cut the tomato into ½-inch thick fillets.
  3. c. Marinate the tomato fillets in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of sriracha for 15 minutes.
  4. a. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  5. b. Combine rinsed rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook. Let it cool slightly before mixing with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
  6. Mix vegan mayonnaise with sriracha sauce (adjust according to your spice preference).
  7. a. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.
  8. b. Lay marinated tomato slices, cucumber, and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
  9. c. Spread a thin line of spicy vegan mayo across the vegetables.
