Miso Maki Sushi Roll (and other vegan sushi)

Today me and my boyfriend made vegan sushi!! While in Egypt, we went to a sushi restaurant, and all they had on their menu was like 3 kind of fishes or caviar in a roll so we decided to design our own sushiand ask them to make it. They didnt really have any cool Japanese vegetables like kampyo so I had this very cool idea!! A maki roll inspired by the miso soup!! It was a roll with tofu, miso paste, green onions and sesame! When we tried it it was actually really good so today we made it, along with other sushi fillings. The pictures you see also include cucumber and japanese pickle roll and one with shitake mushrooms and white asparagus!

For the rice:

-1 cup sushi rice ( makes 30-40 small sushi pieces), rice vinegar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp stevia (or 2 tsp sugar)

For the miso roll Ya need:

-1/4 pack mori-nu firm sushi

-1tbsp miso paste

-1tbsp sesame seeds

-some fresh green onion (or dry if you dont have fresh)

(miso maki roll, my inspired creation ha-ha…)

First you have to prepare the rice. Place it in a bowl and add water. Stir. The water will become foggy. Take out the water and add new water and stir. Repeat until water is transparent. Soak rice for 20 minutes ( it will become whiter) now bring 1 cup and 3tbpsof water to boil and add the rice, cover and reduce to the lowest heat. Dont open the lid!! After 20 minutes remove from heat and let sit while you prepare the seasoning. Put in a small sauce pan 2 tbsp +1 tsp rice vinegar, 1tsp salt and 1 teaspoon stevia on low heat and stri until the salt and sweetener dissolves. Now pour the mixture over the rice and with a wooden spoon mix and toss lightly without squishing the rice. Now your rice is ready. Leave it to cool down while you chop the fillings.

Now I am not gonna try to explain how you roll sushi… Because I am a bit bored and its a proccess you have to learn by seeing, so the best way is see a video on youtube( make sure its a japenese chef doing it, so you see the proper way! But here are some pictures during the sushi rolling!
Serve with sauce sauce and wasabi for dipping!
