If you want to prepare a Vegetarian Sushi, This is the right place. I will explain to you step by step how to make gods vegan futomaki with colorful and crunchy vegetables.
Sushi, an iconic dish of Japanese cuisine, is loved around the world for its freshness and its ability to combine flavors in surprising ways. There are truly infinite variations, most of which include raw or cooked fish.
Today I want you to try a vegetarian version of sushi, in particular my vegan futomaki, based only on vegetables. A delightful alternative for those looking to explore a completely vegetable variant of this dish.
Unlike simple hosomaki, which you can find here in my salmon versionfutomaki are richer in flavors, textures and colors.
A futomaki it is a type of sushi rolled with external seaweed, it is thicker than traditional hosomaki, and can include a variety of julienned vegetables, making each bite a true explosion of flavors.
The rice for your vegetarian sushi
As with any type of sushi, the preparation of rice is critical.
The first step is washing. To avoid excess starch and a sticky effect, it is necessary to wash the rice carefully, leaving it to soak for a few hours, changing the water every 30 minutes and rinsing it thoroughly before putting it in the pan.
Once washed and rinsed, simply cover it with double its volume in water, bring to the boil, lower the heat and cook with the lid until the water is completely absorbed, for about 10 minutes. Without removing the lid, let it rest for another 10 minutes then season with vinegar and sugar.
Once cooled, the rice will be ready for your favorite sushi and transformed into uramaki, hosomaki, nigiri or futomaki. Also vegetarian.
