10-Minute Vegetarian Sushi is a quick, fun, and flavorful way to enjoy sushi at home without the fuss. Made with fresh veggies, avocado, and seasoned rice wrapped in nori, these easy rolls are plant-based, customizable, and perfect for a light meal or snack.

Ingredients

  1. 1½ cups cooked sushi rice or short-grain rice
  2. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  3. ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
  4. ¼ teaspoon salt
  5. 2 nori sheets
  6. ½ avocado, sliced
  7. ½ cucumber, julienned
  8. 1 small carrot, julienned or grated
  9. ¼ bell pepper, thinly sliced
  10. Optional: cream cheese, pickled radish, baby spinach, tofu strips
  11. For serving: soy sauce or tamari, pickled ginger, wasabi, sesame seeds

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix warm rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool slightly.

  1. Place one sheet of nori shiny-side down on a flat surface or sushi mat.
  2. With damp hands, spread a thin, even layer of rice over two-thirds of the nori, leaving the top edge clear.
  3. Arrange avocado, cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper in a line near the bottom third of the rice.
  4. Roll tightly from the bottom, sealing the top edge with a little water.
  5. Slice into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, damp knife.
  6. Repeat with second nori sheet. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Notes

  • Wet your hands to prevent rice from sticking while handling.
  • Customize with your favorite fillings like mango, tofu, or spicy mayo.
  • Use parchment paper if you don’t have a sushi mat.
