Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

   • Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
   • Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
   • In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
   • Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare the Fillings:

   • Prepare all your veggies and tofu by cutting them into thin strips or slices.

3. Assemble the Sushi:

   • Lay a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface.
   • Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
   • Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
   • Add your desired fillings horizontally across the middle of the rice.
   • Start rolling the sushi by lifting the edge of the mat closest to you, tucking it over the fillings, and rolling it tightly away from you. Apply gentle pressure as you roll to seal the sushi.
   • Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into even pieces.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve your vegan sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, or pickled ginger on the side for dipping.

Feel free to get creative with your fillings and don’t worry if your first rolls aren’t perfect—practice makes perfect!
