Vegan Rainbow Sushi ‘Burgers’
Sushi is one of those things that you love, but don’t want to make. Who’s with me?! Unless you’re a seasoned sushi roller, sometimes your rolls come out a bit messy and, well, they just aren’t like the rolls you get at your favorite sushi restaurant. I’ve become good enough to make a decent sushi roll, but it took me a little while to get it right. And sometimes I want sushi, but really just don’t have the patience to make it. Light bulb! A sushi burger! I mean, naturally that’s what you think of when you think of sushi right? haha I have no idea where this idea came from, but I’m really excited to share it with you. The possibilities are endless really. You can put whatever you want on this ‘burger’, but I chose to load mine up with colorful veggies and top it with a sriracha mayo sauce. I have to work on getting the rice buns to stick together a bit better, the second burger definitely turned out better. I got wise and wet my hands to really pack the rice together. Burgers are messy anyway, so you’ll have to expect a bit of a mess. I used sushi soy wrappers to hold the burger together while eating it, not to mention then you can eat the wrapper, which was kinda fun!
These are loaded with nutrients, because you are eating the rainbow, they’re fun, different, and easy to make! No sushi mats or chopsticks… and can be made in 30 minutes or less! The veggies in this version are completely raw, but I might try to bake the cabbage next time and see how that tastes! Cabbage Steak Sushi Burgers… coming soon! But for now, go try this out and let me know what you think!
You can also find this recipe on the Fork & Beans blog! I am so excited to be guest blogging on Cara’s amazing site and to be the newest member of her team!
