Crunchy vegetable volcano roll and herbal tea recipe..
Ingredients:
Sushi nori sheets (seaweed)
White sushi rice or cauliflower rice
1 ripe avocado, sliced
Cucumber slices (optional)
Carrot slices (optional)
Crunchy tempura crispies
Teriyaki sauce
Red chili sauce
Fresh scallions, thinly sliced
Sesame seeds
Tamari or soy sauce for dipping
Pickled ginger (optional)
Wasabi (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the rice:
If using white sushi rice, cook according to package instructions and allow it to cool. For extra flavor, you can season it with a small amount of rice vinegar.
If using cauliflower rice, pulse cauliflower florets into a rice-like texture. Lightly sauté with a little olive oil until tender, season lightly, and allow it to cool before assembling your sushi.
2. Assemble the sushi:
Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or flat surface. Spread an even layer of rice or cauliflower rice over the nori. Add sliced avocado and any additional vegetables you enjoy.
3. Roll and slice:
Carefully roll the sushi tightly, using gentle pressure to keep the ingredients together. Slice into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
4. Add the toppings:
Top your sushi with crunchy tempura crispies for texture. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce and red chili sauce to add a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Finish with fresh scallions and sesame seeds for a fresh, flavorful touch.
5. Serve and enjoy:
Serve with tamari or soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired. Enjoy your homemade avocado sushi alongside a refreshing cup of peppermint, red clover, and lemon balm tea.
Instructions:
Add peppermint, red clover, and lemon balm to a tea infuser or cup.
Pour hot water over the herbs.
Steep for 10-15 minutes.
