No food is more iconically Japanese than sushi. But as any vegan or vegetarian knows, there's only so many cucumber rolls a person can eat! Enter Sushi Modoki--amazing, all-vegan re-creations of classic sushi rolls and bites. At the hands of vegan innovator iina, a cooking instructor in her native Japan, tomatoes transform into "fatty tuna," mushrooms into "scallops," and carrots into "salmon"--with mind-boggling results. Clear, step-by-step instructions show you how to make five different styles of sushi with all-natural, whole ingredients--and assemble elegant plates bursting with color and crunch:
- Nigiri: "fish" over rice
- Maki: sushi rolls
- Chirashi: scattered sushi bowls
- Inari: fried tofu stuffed with "fish" and rice
- Oshi: pressed sushi
