Vegetarian Sushi Roll with Asparagus and Carrots

Vegetarian sushi roll with asparagus and carrots is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make sushi roll. This recipe combines the crunchy texture of asparagus and carrots with the creamy texture of avocados and cucumbers, making it a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 4 sheets of nori
  • 1/2 bunch of asparagus, sliced into thin sticks
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into thin sticks
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar

    Add the cooked sushi rice to the bowl and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let sit for 10 minutes.

    To assemble the roll, lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat. Using wet hands, spread a thin layer of the sushi rice on the nori.
  • Step 4
    Add a small handful of the asparagus and carrot sticks to the center of the nori. Carefully roll the sushi mat up, tucking the ends of the nori inward as you roll.
