This beautiful, filling plant based sushi bowl is a great lunch or meal prep option. This dish uses a mixture of raw veggies (carrots, cucumbers, seaweed etc) for that crunch. The sushi rice brings a softness to the dish which absorbs the ginger miso dressing and is topped with a spicy mayo. There is so much flavor going on here, you must give it a try!!
Whenever I cook, I like to do it intuitively. This means measurements aren’t always exact, they are to taste. If you do not like spicy foods, omit the hot sauce! If you need something sweeter, go ahead and add more maple syrup. We are all different and unique, so why would we all follow the same exact recipe? For instance, when coating the tofu, I added cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Don’t go out of your way to buy these if you don’t add them!! Any spice mix you like will work. Another example in this is that I use cucumbers and carrots, if you have other veggies in your fridge, use those! Instead of wasting food and buying more in order to “follow the recipe” just add what ya got!
Getting creative in the kitchen has helped me to find peace in my life while also feeding my inner child. When it comes to cooking, people tend to have so much dread, but new recipes are fun to try! Cooking at home also preserves the energy of the food. You know exactly what is going in it and who is preparing it! Remember that everything is an energy exchange, so take some time to bless and show gratitude to this abundance of nourishment. I hope this inspires you to cook more intuitively, and feed your spirit with fresh, organic, colorful foods. Enjoy this homemade sushi bowl!
much love, peace & vibez 2 u & all beings everywhere
