I am going to start this post with a quick background before getting to the Rainbow Sushi Rolls recipe. If you know me personally, you probably have given up on inviting me out for sushi by now. Seriously, I have never ate sushi out at a restaurant. A few years ago, when it seemed like sushi was getting popular (at least around the area I live) I decided to go to a local grocery story with my boyfriend to try out what this amazing food was. BAD IDEA. I don’t know if I just had a horrible package or what but my goodness … what I tasted that day veered me away from the idea of sushi for YEARS (regardless of how many times my friends tried to convince me that restaurant sushi is 1000x better and totally different). Scarred.

Actually, I just recently started getting use to the idea of eating sushi and making it at home was definitely a success … I may even try it outside of my own kitchen sometime soon 😉 . I made sushi rolls a few times now and this process seems to be my favourite so far.

**UPDATE:: I have probably aten sushi 100x since originally writing this post … it is funny how our taste buds change. This Rainbow Sushi Rolls recipe is still my fave in terms of making sushi!

On top of making your stomach very happy, these Rainbow Sushi Rolls also bring in the nutrients making your entire body satisfied. Nori (the seaweed wrap that brings the Rainbow Sushi Rolls together) includes up to 10x more calcium than milk, copper, folic acid, zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, antioxidants, protein, digestible fibre, and more!!

Here are some pictures to help you along the way!

Let’s get to the recipe, shall we?

Print Rainbow Sushi Rolls Vegan Sushi Ingredients 2 Nori Sheets

1 cup Cooked Rice **for stickier rice - When rice is nearly cooked, stir in 1tsp rice vinegar, 1/2tsp salt, and 2tsp sugar. Mash together to ensure it's sticky.

1/3 Red Bell Pepper sliced

1/3 Yellow Bell Pepper sliced

1 Avocado 1/2 sliced, 1/2 mashed

1/3 cup Carrot sliced

1/2 small Red Onion sliced thinly

Dip of Choice I used teriyaki + garlic

1 tsp Water to help seal the roll together Instructions Place a nori sheet on top of a bamboo mat shiny side up (you can also use a towel). Gather sushi rice with your hands. Spread and lightly press onto the nori sheet leaving about 1 inch margin at the top of the sheet. Place bell peppers, carrot, avocado (mashed and sliced), and onion over the rice at the bottom of the sheet. Slowly start rolling the sushi with the help of the mat - squeeze each roll in tightly with both hands as you go. Once your sushi roll is good and sealed, dip your finger in some water and brush along the nori to seal the roll. Repeat for second roll. After you sushi is rolled, make sure to have a SHARP knife and cut your sushi into roughly 1-2cm slices (or, if you're like me, you just guess the sizes). Pair with your dip of choice (I used teriyaki sauce with some minced garlic clove) and enjoy!

There you have it – Rainbow Sushi Rolls! Of course, everyones tastebuds are different – if you have a veggie you’d like to omit or add go for it! Find your perfect mix. This is currently my favourite mix of veggies, but I am sure there will be more to come. Just stick to the skeleton idea of the recipe and get creative.



Hope you guys enjoy!!
