Ingredient Notes

Here is everything you will need to make vegan sushi rolls (measurements can be found in the recipe card below):

Avocado – We love the creaminess avocado adds.
Radish – Crunchy and colorful, radish lends a crisp, pungent, and sweet flavor.
Enoki mushrooms – These can be eaten raw or steamed for 8 – 10 minutes before use to ensure no bacteria are present.
Red bell pepper – Feel free to use any color you prefer or have on hand.
Cucumber – Adds a refreshing coolness and crunchy texture.
Carrots – We love to julienne the carrots, but cutting into matchsticks works just as well.
Sprouts – Full of nutrients, micro spouts are a great addition to vegetarian sushi rolls.
Miso – Adds umami to the sushi roll and helps seal it closed. Plus, it has many health benefits (read more at Healthline)!
Hemp hearts – Give your sushi rolls a nice dose of heart-healthy omegas with these power-packed hemp seeds!
