Vegetable Maki Sushi

Vegetable Maki Sushi is a type of sushi roll that is made with vegetables as the main ingredients. It is a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans, as well as those who are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional sushi. Vegetable Maki Sushi is made by rolling up sheets of nori seaweed with a variety of cooked or raw vegetables, such as cucumber, carrots, avocado, and asparagus, and then adding a layer of sushi rice. The rolls are then sliced into individual pieces and served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. The combination of colors and flavors make Vegetable Maki Sushi a delicious and nutritious meal option.
