Vegan Quinoa Sushi

You can use any veggies you like for this recipe! These are just the ingredients I used. You can use whatever you have in the fridge!

It will come out fantastic however you choose to dress up your Quinoa sushi rolls!

Ingredients:

5 Sushi Nori sheets ( I used gimme brand)

Cook your quinoa and let cool for 20 mins.
Prepare your veggies! Cut tomatoes, cucumber, carrots and vegan meat into long, thin match stick like pieces. (Julienne)
Mix together Quinoa, vegenaise, olive oil, salt and spices into a bowl. Consistency should be thick and should stay together without falling apart.
Place nori sheet onto bamboo rolling mat. Starting with a thin layer of Quinoa evenly spread on sheet, then lay your veggies on top and roll!
Carefully slice your rolls into bite size pieces with a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy!
