Another holiday themed recipe. Of course. It’s very nearly pancake day!

Pancake day is otherwise known as Strove Tuesday for the more sophisticated among us. Originally, the concept of this day was to get rid of the rich foods like flour, eggs and sugar before 40 days of lent. Like many religious traditions, this seems to have been adapted into society and commercialized. It has now become an excuse to eat pancakes for dinner and for some another time to try out a new diet for lent.

We are atheists here at The Hungry Herbivores, therefore care not that the religious meaning has turned into more of a fun food day.

This year, we thought we’d break away from the norm. Vegan pancakes are exciting and are so doable without them eggys! However, sushi pancakes took our imaginations to a new level. Jazz up your pancake day this year. you won’t regret.

These are surprisingly not stodgy. I could easily eat a whole stack of these gorgeous rice patties to myself, which is more than I can say for a regular stack of fluffy, oaty pancakes I usually knock up for a Sunday brekkie.

Sticky Sushi rice is unbeatable when you get it right. We have a recipe within this post for brown sushi rice, which will keep the recipe super healthy & wholesome. However, if you are using White Sushi Rice, either use a recipe your familiar with or use the recipe above and reduce the soaking time to 30mins, cooking time to 10-15 mins on simmer & 15 mins steam.

Rice advice!

Handle this recipe with care. You will be making thin rice pancakes, so you NEED a steady (wet) hand to work with.

When cutting or moving rice, make sure your utensils, plates, boards are slightly wet, it helps stop sticking.

Use a wide spatula to move around your rice pancakes.

Your rice must be sticky. It wont compact otherwise.

Have some fun with it!

Now lets get to the video watching, recipe reading, comment writing and sushi pancake making!
