The BEST Vegan Sushi Bowl - I Could Eat This Everyday!!!

[@veggiegourmet]

My students are always surprised to learn that sushi means vinegared (or soured) rice (su shi). They, like many people, associate sushi with raw fish (sashimi). We make our own sticky rice by cooking 3/4 cup short grain brown rice and 1/4 cup sweet rice, which is inherently sticky, so it simulates white sticky rice, and also adds fiber. Sometimes we use purple rice (which is gorgeous) in our sushi rolls, and we've also used leftover (cold) quinoa, mixed with a dab of water to make it stick together for rolling.

[@celestebeck4642]

Thank you. Short grain brown rice works great to make sticky sushi rice as well as subbing for arborio rice in risotto. You can make SOS free pickled ginger by slicing ginger thinly and marinating in California Balsamics Ginger vinegar thinned with a little water.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks for the tip!

[@traceybaucom5755]

I grow wasabi mustard microgreens. I’m going to make this and include them!

[@captnsteveh]

Ginger flavor of California Basalmic vinegar is great on sushi salad

[@CHEFAJ]

That is an absolutely fabulous idea!

[@DrCarolinindy]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤. What a fabulous way to enjoy vegan sushi (bowl). once again Chef AJ you break down barriers to the age old arguments of “eating vegan is boring, expensive and time consuming.”

[@denisemcmahon7598]

Thank you for an alternative to "rolling sushi"! Looks so appetising I want to climb into the screen!

[@CHEFAJ]

Hope you enjoy

[@angiebee598]

I made this tonight and it did not disappoint! This would be a fun dish to share at a potluck!

[@kentroskelley1389]

Thanks Chef AJ This is a fantastic idea. Buying Sushi in stores and restaurants is so expensive. This way you can have more variety with sushi flavors.

[@angrydogface]

Looks delicious!!! Needs MORE rice.. like 3X

[@michellebeatty9697]

It’s so great too see you cook again 🎉

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you for saying that because that’s really what I wanna be doing

[@KristinBlackwell-uw2tp]

Looks delicious but I kept wanting to see you add edamame for more protein (plus it is delicious)! Maybe that makes it too much of a poke bowl but that is what I would do. Anyway, yum!

[@superfinevids]

You don't need a bunch of protein. This is what hurts people. Breast milk only has 5 percent protein. Humans don't need much. You need good sugars to maintain your health. You aren't a growing baby. Stay away from all fats and most protein.

[@ellenshealthykitchen]

I made this last night and it was delicious. A keeper! For those who don't want to eat as much rice (this is not a criticism, just a suggestion), you can do 1/2 rice and 1/2 cauliflower rice. In any case, what a fun, delicious and company-worthy recipe!

[@jeanniesarreshtedari9691]

Thanks, Chef AJ. I made one this week, but I love the idea of grinding up the nori sheet and I love mango! ❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes, I think that grinding the Nori disperses the flavor or evenly and then you don’t get a big hunk in your mouth. It’s more subtle.

[@vihee5526]

White rice has less arsenic in it so that's good!

[@lauraolson5444]

Not Lindburg organic grown in California

[@jami29841]

Chef AJ thank you so much. I am new to plant based eating and have been craving sushi. Will definitely make this very soon.

[@SherryDelGrosso]

just tried this last night - so amazing! I used half black rice and half sushi rice - cooked them together in my instant pot. this will be on regular rotation from now on. thank you Chef AJ - incredible, easy recipes all.the.time

[@therootsofsarah]

Chef AJ, I don't "cook" for anyone but myself - and it's hard to mess up vegan meals... however I AM making this (yes, I understand the only stovetop ingredient is the rice!) for my boyfriend and myself on Friday. Going to prepare the veggies and the rice tomorrow night and put it all together Friday... THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!!!

[@marivonne16]

I miss that friend of yours that would do a Tupperware party in drag - he was so fun!!! Miss those videos!!!

[@CHEFAJ]

So believe it or not he’s an actor and was in Oppenheimer

[@marivonne16]

[@CHEFAJ]

[@btjchase]

OMG, Chef AJ! Thanks for such a terrific and easy idea! As always, you come up with such fabulous and healthy ideas! I’ve already shared this video with family members!

[@vi3472]

I shared it too! ❤

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

I love this idea. I often don’t eat sushi bcuz I don’t want to get all the stuff out and the trouble of making rolls !!

[@cbzombiequeen58]

Try black rice, or wild rice.

[@LisaSonora]

also grinding up the nori sheet is genius! I like to toast my nori sheet in the toaster oven briefly, and then it crumbles easily by hand into the bowl. My dogs LOVE nori too :)

[@LisaSonora]

A deconstructed plant-based sushi bowl is something I eat many times a week. So satisfying and fresh in hot weather. I live in Mexico, so just use plain white rice as the sushi rice isn't as available where I live, and cook my rice in the instant pot.

[@pamp3445]

I use CA Balsamic sample bottles to fill with sauces, dressings, etc when dining out.

[@karen-zb7pu]

Thank you! I’ve been craving sushi for a while. This hits the spot.

[@CHEFAJ]

[@patty-cf7jj]

I always say a sushi bowl is the deal of the century. I go to a lot of restaurants that serve sushi rolls and a poke bowl which is basically a deconstructed sushi roll but it actually has twice the amount of ingredients and it’s the same price. We pay for the labour of the person who has the skill to make the rolls.

Thank you for this recipe I will try it! I usually avoid Asian cuisine because of salt and msg and oil and sugar and spicy etc .. What brand pickled ginger do you use. I’ve been looking and many have aspartame 😳 I know you previously have said you don’t eat Avacados..It’s not on our 21 day LWWAFP plan and is it a trigger for you ?? Thank you for all you do for all of us ! Blessings 😊

Hello everyone

[@CharGC123]

I was very disappointed when I overcooked my brown rice in the Instant pot once, but since I try to never waste or throw out food, I just stashed it in the fridge to make veggie patties or something. Turns out once it cooled it wasn't mushy anymore, but more like sushi rice, so I made a bunch of vegan sushi rolls that were great and now I often overcook it on purpose!

[@shess1640]

you don't have to remember how to make it. Just use KZbin. You don't need a mat, either. Decomposed sushi bowl is nice, too. Certainly cheaper than Whole Foods! Thanks for this reminder.

[@MsVivian4979]

I'm going to try this 🎉

[@CHEFAJ]

[@cindykisling9015]

It looks delicious but I just seem to have an aversion to those nori sheets.

[@CHEFAJ]

You can omit

[@m.bishop4217]

You don’t add any type of protein to this? My doctor sent me to a vegan nutritionist who said I am not getting enough protein. So calorically could I add tofu or edamame to this and still make it a reasonable meal? Thank you

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes you can!
