HOW TO MAKE QUINOA SUSHI ROLLS AT HOME

[@karenogo3553]

I'm Japanese and became vegan because I was inspired by you! Little hack, if you eat ripe avocado with soy sauce, it will taste like toro (fatty tuna)! Many Japanese eat avocado with soy sauce. Pour soy sauce where avocado seed’s hole and school it out. Thank you for inspiring me and hope you all the best!!!!

[@Veggiekins]

As a part Japanese vegan I have to give you major props because I've tried rolling with quinoa before and always failed hahahahah!! Also, I saw this product at expo west last year that was quinoa made specifically for sushi--I'm pretty sure they were a Canadian brand so you might see it around at stores!

[@RedPillVegan]

As much as I eat sushi on a regular basis, I never thought to do this with quinoa

[@vajmango]

lmao, same!

Hi Derek! I asked you for advice a few months ago about how to improve my physical health and I just wanted to say that I've been doing great. I go swimming every day and I've been doing shorter exercises throughout the day. I feel amazing! I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and the effort you put into them. You're a big inspiration!

[@Simnettnutrition]

That is amazing Josh, keep it up!

[@Journeywithjazmin]

epic!!!!!

[@TS-eo9uf]

To cover my sushi rolling mat for making the "inside out" rolls, I put the whole mat into a gallon-size ziploc bag. I wash and reuse these bags essentially indefinitely, and I have so many other uses for them in my kitchen already.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Ah yes great idea. I reuse ziploc bags too, this is a great idea!

[@Cynthiacastro22]

WHY CANT I GIVE YOU 1000 LIKES???? Dude, you are a Rockstar!!!! Keep on sharing your mind and soul,,, we are eternally grateful friend🤗🌷

[@TheDeochamp]

That lil dance at the end after trying out your sushi 😆🙌👯‍♂️

[@kitt7082]

I learned a tofu hack to make it more crispy and have a more "meaty" texture. Take it out of the package and drain the water off, then freeze it and when you thaw the tofu, so much more water is released and that makes it have a different texture when cooked.

[@aliciaburden5082]

Pro tip: a little rice vinagre mixed into the quinoa before you spread on the nori is THE BOMB! Love your videos💗

[@GeneralTrusty]

yeah, regular sushi rice is seasoned that way. i like it too. :D

[@TODOMATIO]

Rice vinegar contains rice ... and I’m trying to avoid rice lol

[@alittlecubsbyte6059]

@@TODOMATIO try apple cider vinegar! :)

[@suicune2001]

I've only tried to make sushi a couple of times and never put rice vinegar on it. I'll have to try that. :)

[@messiaht712]

Can’t wait to make these. I never add mango! But I will now !

[@samuelbudlong9408]

I was waiting for a "rolling skills" joke, which may reflect my lack of maturity, but even so, this was possibly my favorite recipe upload of yours, Derek. You took something that so many of us love as a treat on a night out and brought it right into our homes with a healthy, protein-packed twist. It may have been novel material, but it had the Simnett Nutrition feel we've come to know and love. Congratulations on another job very well done, and we look forward to seeing what you and Crystal (so sorry for spelling) think up next.

[@talkingstick2u]

Before flipping the rice upside-down, sprinkle it with black and white sesame seeds. It will help a bit with containing the stickiness as well as adding extra flavor, nutrition, and eye appeal. I'm going to do this with tri-colored quinoia! Thanks for the idea!

[@HenchHerbivore]

The roasted nori sheets are less sea-smelling and better tasting imo!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Ahh okay, makes sense. Crystal wasn't having any of this, so that makes sense.

[@GeneralTrusty]

@@Simnettnutrition i learned from High Carb Hannah that if the sushi rice (or quinoa) is still warm when it hits the nori, it will accentuate the "fishy" flavor. i tried it and it seems to be true for me. you just have to be patient and wait for your rice/quinoa to cool to room temp. ;)

Simnett Nutrition you can easily roast them yourself on the element! :)

[@HenchHerbivore]

This sounds BOMB! I love sushi but white rice is obviously not the healthiest choice. Good job brother, THANK YOU! 🌱💪👊💥

[@Simnettnutrition]

Heck yah! I LOVE my white rice, but you are totally right, much healthier like this and pretty much as tasty!

[@marley7659]

Brown rice sushi is a thing though.

[@djromana17]

White rice is actually better if you're an athlete. Absolutely nothing unhealthy about white rice at all.

[@alexandrodl1371]

@J G good to know, ty!

[@Profile.4]

@@djromana17 how is it better? No one said it's unhealthy. He said not the healthiest choice. High glycemic processed rice with the bran and fiber removed is not the best choice.

[@ruthmalan7860]

Wow! Wow, and wow again. I heard that quinoa is also very good as a binding substance instead of eggs. You are a pioneer of a powerful movement into compassionate eating. Where were you years ago? Why is this only available now? This should be prescribed viewing at all schools. Thanks for your kindness!

[@franzlvorex1899]

For anyone who makes their own kombucha at home, hear me out. Use your matured kombucha scoby as a tuna / salmon replacement. It works wonders and goes great in sushi. Be sure to marinate it with your favorite sauce beforehand. Teriyaki sauce and kelp flakes go great as a marinade. Kombucha scobies resemble a nice fish like or squid texture and the subtle sweetness of it pairs well with the rice and crispy vegetables.

[@neilsauerwein4392]

I have to try this!

[@vanamarkarian]

For the inside out I tried it with parchment paper and it worked.. thanks for another great video, I always make quinoa sushi since I don’t eat rice,love em!!💕💕

[@regax847]

That's what I was going to suggest--parchment paper. Good to know it works well enough!

[@vanamarkarian]

Regax ya it’s not bad!!

[@GeneralTrusty]

nothing to throw away if you use a silicone baking mat. ;)

[@vanamarkarian]

generalTrusty how will u be able to roll a sushi with a baking mat ??

[@GeneralTrusty]

@@vanamarkarian same as the bamboo mat; just a different kind of surface.

[@chapman1569]

Amazing, simple and nutritious. It gives me the idea to try spring rolls with quinoa.

[@chapman1569]

I made these sushi rolls. I did the tofu sticks with BBQ sauce and tahini. I added figues syrup, apple cider and tahini to the quinoa to make it more sticky. Even with that the reverse rolls didn't hold very well. Overall, they were very good and even better the next day, the flavors had mingled together. They are very filling, a meal in itself.My family liked them too.A revelation.

[@ThePamgauti]

I made this! I used red quinoa, veggies, 🥑 and a mandarin chicken less nuggets! It was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you! My bff loved it.

[@toniwehnert6488]

Made these last night with some friends.First time making sushi and they turned out really well!All except for the inside out one.That became poke bowls! And that sauce with the tahini and saracha was amazing!Thanks for the great recipes!

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

Perfect timing that your video popped up on my feed! I’ve bought everything yesterday to make sushi !! Btw my sushi mat fits perfectly in a galling zip lock bag . I wash it off and use again . No plastic waste.

[@MrsTeenagewiccan]

This video came at the perfect time ! I love sushi though I’ve never made it myself , and I was gifted a sushi mat just a few days ago! Now I have no excuse to not start making my own ! 🤗thank you!

[@Careless932]

I've tried this yesterdar. I couldn't post any photos in the comments to let you see but it was fantastic! Thank you so much.

[@TimDrescher]

Made this. Love it. I spread the hot tahini mustard on the roll afterwards...oh yea. This was my first experience rolling sushi.Thanks for the simple instructions. I used the Instant Pot, 1 minute manual. Worked great.

[@vanshan1318]

Wow man that definitely looks like a Saturday night thing 🍣🍶👍

[@sunejrgensen1292]

This is such a good idea! I swear, sometimes when I'm lacking creativity food wise, I just watch one of your videos. They're always super helpful!

[@sheamears9892]

Sooooo yummy! Tonight I’m trying my hand at not tuna, by blanching tomatoes, removing skins and seeds, probably marinating in some Marin and sriracha. Fingers crossed! Keep up the strong work, you never let me nor my non vegan family down!

[@jasminehayes1122]

You are a sushi master! I am so impressed. You make it look so easy.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

This looks amazing! We use a zip lock/freezer bag that we have cur the zipper off of and cit open so we can wash and reuse so we don’t have to use plastic wrap.

[@thombro705]

Quinoa sushi is a staple in our house. Packed with nutrition, delectable, and super satisfying! Great video Derek!

[@tylerp657]

Looks amazing! I just bought a really nice knife, and I Look forward to cutting these bad boys up! Its really simple but tahini, soy sauce, and water makes great sushi dip

Yes, a good knife is key! Thanks for sharing the dip!

[@heatherlanter1391]

Love seeing someone as excited at eating sushi as me. My friend and I are quite the spectacle at work on sushi 🍣 Friday 😝

[@alisonhendry2928]

You inspired me to give this a try as I had no sushi Rice in the pantry and my family’s eyes always light up when I say sushi night! I needed to add more water for cooking and squish the quinoa down a wee bit more I think as my rolls were not sticking together despite tight rolling. Nevertheless quinoa was a big hit with husband. Yay! Thank you for this great idea. My tummy is still full and I don’t have that white rice guilt.

[@dereckrose293]

I have to say this may be in consideration of the top five meals on simnetts channel 🤤🤤

[@Simnettnutrition]

Ohh I like hearing that!

[@2ginkgoleaves]

Awesome vid. Can’t wait to try this as I was recently lamenting the quinoa we have from Costco is sticky rather than fluffy. So using it for sushi is perfect! And since conversion to WFPB vegan over a year ago I’ve not had (and miss!) Japanese cuisine. Thanks very much. keep up the great work. 🇨🇦🌈

[@massages_for_world_peace8909]

Wonderful! I had looked up 5 other quinoa sushi recipes but yours was by far the most (only) helpful one! Thanks for being clear and using real ingredients and showing the steps = very easy to understand!! Tip: for inside-out rolls, after I add the rice or quinoa I sprinkle it with sesame seeds (or can use roe). Then, flip the Nori, add the veggies and roll as normal. I find it’s great for aesthetics, taste, and also keeping the inside-out roll together a bit better.

[@elb159]

Excellent idea & video! Made sushi the same day and it was delicious👍👍

[@Vanessa-gp8zg]

wow... words cannot describe how much i love this recipe. i'll definitely be trying it out tomorrow morning, and usually i don't bother with comments but dude, this is SO amazing that i had to write something. i'd love to see another sushi recipe vid/similar vid on your channel!

[@ohshaith55]

Hey Derek, thanks for bringing another way to make sushi to the people! I see your cutting board is slipping around! I've got 2 suggestions: in a pinch, you can put wet paper towels underneath to keep it from slipping, but I would recommend buying some non slip cabinet liner and cutting it to the shape of your cutting board. Works great!

[@DanielPincente]

Wow you’re so good at sushi rolls!! I’m gonna try this right now

[@syleenadawn2038]

Bad ass recipe man!! I found your Channel looking for vegan Breakfast Wrap recipes yesterday morning for breakfast, and my hubby was asking where you were from and I was like "I'm not too sure, but he sounds West Coast BC -ish?!?! Or that's my vibe I'm getting LOL Then I checked out your About section and saw you're PO box is 25 mins away (We're in Nanaimo)! We visit Parksville all the time!!! Love the Coast of BC!!
