Ingredients

For the veggie sushi rolls

  • 12 nori sheets
  • 500 grams of cauliflower
  • 3 carrots cut into strips
  • 1 avocado cut into strips
  • 1 sliced cucumber
  • 150 grams mixed sprouted seeds like alfalfa

For the raw dipping sauce

  • raw tahini
  • lemon juice
  • good helping of hot sauce
  • cider vinegar
  • blitzed garlic and ginger
  • salt

Instructions

Step 1:

First take your cauliflower and dice into manageable chunks. Pop in a food processor and pulse until you get a rice like consistency.

Step 2:

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat and have a small dish of water nearby.

Step 3:

Place a layer of cauliflower rice on your nori sheet then arrange your selection of veggie strips in the middle.

Step 4:

Begin rolling, using your bamboo mat to assist and keep them nicely together. When you get to the far edge dab a bit of water onto the final edge of the nori sheet to help seal your sushi roll.

Step 5:

Next make your dipping sauce by combining the tahini, lemon juice, and a good helping of hot sauce ( we used raw kimchi fermented hot sauce here as it really packs a punch and has all the wonderful added health benefits of a fermented product!) These can all be combined either by hand or in a food processor with a pinch of salt, dash of cider vinegar and a good helping of blitzed ginger and garlic.

Step 6:

Cut your sushi rolls into sections to show off the colourful rainbow veggies and get dipping. Enjoy x
