Vegan sushi and Easter Bunny onigiri


I was delighted to see all your comments about my new kitchen, thank you so much! I’m indeed settling in slowly, finding my way in the kitchen and cooking more and even more experimental food at the moment. I have found a couple of nice supermarkets nearby that cater to all our needs, so I’m more comfortable cooking here.

I hope you all had a nice Easter and got to relax a bit. I’m sure it was different from the usual for all of us. We just enjoyed a lot of nice food, drink and long walks in the nearby forest and seaside. The weather was great and sunny throughout, although yesterday it tried to snow a little bit! I also put some Easter decorations up, as most time lately has been spent at home. I couldn’t resist these cute chocolate bunnies.


We had some fun by making slightly Easter-themed vegan sushi featuring Easter Bunny onigiri. I tried to colour some of the rice with radish peels, but they are not quite as good at colouring as beetroot. However I left the pieces in the rice creating a "David Bowie bunny onigiri". Can you see the resemblance? 

The sushi rolls were filled with marinated tofu, carrots, radish and wild garlic. It was so nice to make vegan sushi after a while. Now I have the required kitchen space to make it properly.




Have a nice week!

Sushi Sunday


Sushi Sunday could be a thing, don't you think so too? At least I like making vegan sushi on Sundays, as I then have plenty of time pottering around in the kitchen and crafting these little things. I made these vegan sushi rolls last Sunday, and will unfortunately be eating something else today, but I wish it would be sushi again. At least I have my onigiri dish to look forward to that I have planned for some day next week.

This time I filled the sushi with different roasted vegetables that were glazed with an organic Japanese umami paste with ginger. I roasted some crown prince squash, green bell peppers and rainbow carrots. I also used firmly fried tofu as a filling. This umami paste was great, and can be used in a versatile way in Asian style of cooking. 

I simply enjoyed these sushi dipped into a sauce made with soy sauce, chilli, sesame oil and mirin. It was such a good meal, I think I could eat this sort of thing every day!

What's your favourite vegan sushi filling, and are you having some today?
