Vegan Sushi? And keto? What kind of witchery is this?
Here’s the deal – I fancied sushi so badly, but I had 2 problems; number one, sushi isn’t vegan, and number 2, I am trying to cut down on carbs. So, what do I do? I made my own!
Some may say that this recipe today isn’t sushi, because sushi has rice and fish. You see, I don’t blame you for thinking that, but they hit the spot just right, so I guess they could be called sushi?
Can Vegans Eat Sushi?
Unfortunately not. Traditionally made sushi is not suitable for vegans, mainly due to the fish.
However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to make sushi vegan. You just gotta eliminate the fish basically.
What Can I Use Instead Of Rice For Sushi?
Avocado! Avocado is a great substitute, especially if you are on the keto diet. It will provide the sushi roll with creaminess and it hits the spot just right.
If you are not keto, you can use lentils or quinoa instead of rice.
