Vegan Sushi Night

Ingredients:
– Sushi rice
– Nori sheets
– Assorted veggies (cucumber, avocado, carrot, bell pepper)
– Tofu or tempeh
– Soy sauce
– Rice vinegar
– Sugar
– Salt
– Wasabi and pickled ginger (optional, for serving)

Instructions:
1. Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.
2. In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice to season it. Set aside.
3. Prepare your veggies by slicing them into thin strips. You can also marinate tofu or tempeh in soy sauce for extra flavor.
4. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
5. Arrange your veggies and tofu/tempeh in a line across the rice, about one-third up from the bottom of the nori sheet.
6. Using the bamboo mat or kitchen towel, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a neat roll. Seal the edge by wetting it slightly with water.
7. With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for a clean finish.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until you have a variety of sushi rolls.
9. Serve your Vegan Sushi Night with soy sauce for dipping and, if desired, wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
