Simple Vegan Sushi

I've been promising to put this recipe up on my blog for a looong time now. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me posting pictures of sushi I have been making and enjoying for my dinners and lunches, and lots of people asked me to post the method I use to make it - well here we finally are! A recipe for simple vegan sushi which is super easy to follow and once you get the hang of rolling the sushi is something I can promise you'll be making over and over again.

One of the best things about making your own sushi is that you can choose which fillings you want. For instance in the sushi pictured on this post I used spinach, carrot and bell pepper. In the past I have also added cucumber, avocado and marinated tofu. Being totally honest, it normally ends up being a mixture of what I have left in the fridge but that's still always yummy!!

5. Lay out your desired fillings in the middle of the rice.
6. When ready to roll, brush along some water on the bare nori edges with your finger.
