Sushi is one of the most beloved dishes in Japan and has a large fan base in the U.S. as well. While some indulge in raw salmon, tuna, eel and urchin, meat-free options are becoming just as popular. You might have this preconceived notion that sushi must have fish or some kind of meat in it in order to be called sushi, but sushi in Japanese actually means vinegared rice. Whether you are a part of an Austin culinary arts program or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, you should make vegan sushi a part of your food vocabulary.

Why should I try vegetarian sushi?

Vegan sushi rolls are a great alternative for people who have rigid diet restrictions but still want the full flavor of Japanese cuisine. They are ideal for people who follow a vegetarian diet part time and want to go full vegetarian. Vegan sushi is also an enjoyable way to transition to more vegetarian dishes from different cultures. If you are new to different types of Japanese food, it should be noted that there is a difference between sushi and sashimi, as one can often be mistaken for the other. Sushi is cut or shaped into small bite-sized pieces, wrapped in seaweed and can include other ingredients and toppings. Sashimi is thinly sliced meat, usually raw fish.

Types of vegetarian sushi

Kappa maki – Also known as the cucumber roll, kappa maki is named after a Japanese water spirit. It is a staple in Japanese restaurants all over the world and has a fresh, light taste. Tempura – This type of sushi is dipped in batter and then deep fried in traditional Tempura fashion. Vegetarian tempura sushi rolls often include carrots, eggplant, sweet potatoes and zucchini. Carrots, daikon radish and cucumber – This crunchy vegetarian alternative is prepared with the vegetables thinly sliced and wrapped in the center of a traditional sushi roll. Daikon, a white root native to many regions in Asia, adds a little bit of spice to the roll that complements the sweetness of the carrots and crisp freshness of the cucumber. Nigiri – This roll is not as common as other vegetarian options, but it is still a tasty treat. Nigiri means pressed or squeezed, thus vegetarian nigiri includes vegetables pressed into small, rectangular mounds of sticky rice. The combination is held together by a thin band of dried seaweed.

Culture

Winter hardy to USDA Zones 10-11. In St. Louis, grow as garden annuals or in pots that can be overwintered indoors. Grow in moist, humusy, organically rich, loose soils in full sun. Also grows well in light shade. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. Remove flower spikes as they appear. Pinch plant stem tips as needed to keep plants compact and to promote bushiness. Seed can be started indoors 8-12 weeks before last frost date. Seed may also be planted directly in the garden after last frost date. Inexpensive starter plants (in small pots or flats) can be purchased from most nurseries in spring for beds and containers. Containers may be brought inside in fall before frost for overwintering. Similarly, favorite plants may be dug and potted in fall for overwintering as houseplants. Cuttings from favorite plants (easily rooted in a glass of water or in clean potting soil) can also be taken in fall for overwintering. Plants may freely self-seed in some areas if flowering/seed stems are not promptly removed.
