🥣 Tips for making this bowl

Use a wok to cook the ingredients. It cooks them in under 5 min which is a huge time saver.

Thaw the cauliflower rice, edamame and Sweet PotaTOASTS Sweet Potato Slices at room temperature. Avoid microwaving them because they will cook in the microwave. They taste much better when cooked in the wok.

Shred the mangoes and radishes because they will be blend better with the other ingredients.

I used pickled sweet and sour red cabbage that can be found in the canned vegetable aisle at Publix. They also have pickled beets that you can use in this recipe. They taste just as delicious.

Get slightly firm mangoes to put into this sushi bowl. They are a little tart, so, it adds a different flavor.

I toasted the potaTOASTS in a toaster oven instead of cooking them in the wok. This way, they were crispier and perfect texture for the sushi bowl.

For the seaweed, I used seaweed snacks that you can find in the international food aisle at Publix. The seaweed snacks are in a small, rectangle packet. It’s just like using seaweed wrap.

🍣 Why I made a sushi bowl instead of the actual sushi?

For one main reason: I am really bad at rolling sushi, lol! Do you remember my old vegan sushi recipe?

I admit that rolling sushi is an art form and it takes a special kind of talent to get those perfect circular shapes. Even after watching hundreds of videos where sushi experts show how easy it is to roll them, I have yet to master that art.

In this vegan sushi bowl, I can also take a few liberties and add ingredients that don’t go into traditional sushi.

❓ Common questions about this recipe

I like to answer questions that I think you might have when making this vegan sushi bowl. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below.

When you make it, be sure to share to rate the recipe below. I will be delighted to see your take on my recipe.

Can I freeze this vegan sushi bowl?

I don’t recommend freezing it after you have cooked it in the wok. The recipe will taste much better when consumed right out of the wok.

However, feel free to put it in meal prep bowls and refrigerate. Use it within a week of making it. Also, don’t put the seaweed snacks on until you are ready to eat it. They will get soggy and lose some of their flavorings.

What aisle are the sweet potaTOASTS in?

They are located in the frozen foods section at Publix. I found them near the frozen potato chips

The Biena Chickpeas are located in the health food section at Publix. The riced veggies are located in the frozen veggies section. They also have broccoli rice which would be perfect for this bowl.

Why use radishes and mangoes together?

Every time I have tasted vegan sushi, there is a strong wasabi taste along with a little sweetness. Radishes are not in the same family as horseradish, but they do have similar flavor.

Radish provide the perfect, strong spicy flavor to the vegan sushi bowl. The mangoes, on the other hand, balance out the strong flavors by adding just a little sweetness.

If you can find black radish in your area, use that instead. They are so hard to come by here in Florida.

Why is this sushi “cooked”?

Yes, traditional sushi is raw. This bowl can be eaten raw too, but, since I am using frozen ingredients, I think it’s better to apply a little heat to even out the texture and tastes.

Cooking it also takes some of the extra moisture away from the riced veggies and edamame. It’s better to cook it, otherwise it might be a soggy mess.

What does “plant-based” mean?

Plant-based refers to ingredients or food that are derived entirely from plants. Vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds are all derived directly from plants.

When the term was first coined, it was used to refer to just vegan and vegetarian diets. However, this term has evolved to include some meats or animal-derived products.

Personally, I still refer to plant-based to not include any meat or animal-derived products. If you want to learn more about vegan and vegetarian diets, check out my complete guide.

🌿 Getting more protein on a vegan diet

This vegan sushi is packed with protein and nutrition. But, eating it every day can get a little boring, right? So, I have several other ways I get protein.

Have you heard of Emergen-C Protein Fuel & Superfoods smoothie mix? This protein powder is packed with plant-based protein, Vitamin C, antioxidants and a slew of B vitamins.

All these are essentials for vegans because we desperately need them in our diet. I know that I am always struggling to get enough biotin on a plant-based diet and this helps!

So, I like to eat this vegan sushi with a glass of Emergen-C Protein Fuel & Superfoods smoothie. All you need is 2 scoops of the powder mixed with water. A blender is not needed, but I like to blend it up.

I add 5 oz vegan yogurt, 5 oz almond milk, 2 scoops of Emergen-c powder, berries and a few ice cubes. I blend it up and drink it up! Sounds delicious, right?

So, will this vegan sushi bowl become a regular lunch meal for you?
