Vegan Sushi Salad

Day 221.

We’re big sushi fans here, but, as a vegetarian, I don’t get a whole ton of selection at the average sushi bar. There are some great veggie rolls, but usually only about four kinds. So, I sometimes break down and make my own. This sushi salad looks so creative, and so much simpler than sushi, I had to try it.

Sushi Salad
Adapted from Sushi Salad.
Ingredients
Quinoa:

  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce (See Thai Style Dumplings for a homemade recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (the inspiring recipe uses this plus 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Veggies:
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped pickled ginger
  • 5 green onions, white and green parts both, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped English cucumber
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Directions
Bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat but leave the covered saucepan on the burner for another 4 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.

Mix all the sauce ingredients. When the quinoa is cool, stir it into the sauce until well-combined.

Stir in all the veggies and refrigerate. When ready to serve, scoop onto plate with an ice cream scoop.

 

Results
This was pretty good and so creative. I think, if we make it again, I’ll mix in some chopped nori.
