Vegan Cucumber Sushi Rolls
If you're on the hunt for the perfect, light, refreshing summer snack or meal, these vegan cucumber rolls are perfect! I always order these out at restaurants and was too intimidated to make them at home, but they are way easier than I thought! Now they are on repeat! They can be made paleo, vegan, and gluten-free, so they're a great option for any diet!
Ingredients
- 1-2 cucumbers * See Notes
- 1 serving protein of choice
- 1/3 cup sushi rice or riced cauliflower
- 1/2 avocado sliced thin
- 1/4 cup carrots shredded
- *any other add-ins of your choice! Green onion is great too!
Instructions
- If using cauliflower rice: To make "sticky" cauliflower rice, add the riced cauliflower to a bowl and add a dash of rice vinegar and a tsp of psyllium husk. Stir and let sit for a few minutes to become sticky!Cut the cucumber in half. Using a skinny spoon or straw, core the cucumber hollowing out the inside.
- Grab your fillings and protein of choice. I opted for grilled tofu and cut it into thin strips.
- Scoop some of the rice into the cucumber and use the straw or a chopstick to press it against the inside wall of the cucumber to make room for the other fillings. Do the same with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut into slices and enjoy!
- I like to dip mine in peanut sauce or spicy mayo (made with avocado oil mayonnaise!)
Notes
* I recommend using large cucumbers however this could work with smaller ones, it'll be easier to use large ones!
