Happy Veggie Sushi
I was inspired by Deliciously Ella for this one. When I went to London this summer, I stopped by her adorable deli, The MaE Deli, and picked up a copy of her signed cookbook. I am such a nerd, I will admit it, but I cannot help but love her vegan recipes and commitment to a healthy lifestyle. As I was flipping through the weeknight meals selection of her book, I came across her vegan sushi recipe! I decided to do a little FODMAP twist on this one; I hope you enjoy it!
Her deli is called MaE Deli because she started the store with her husband, Matt. So, the shop is called MaE after Matt and Ella. SO CUTE. They are couple #goals. Such a sweet store, a great vibe, and delicious food! I would highly recommend it to those who are going to visit London and want a local-vegan experience.

ALL YOU NEED
- 1 c cooked quinoa
- 1 pack of nori seaweed sheets
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cucumber
- 4 leaves of fresh mint
- 1 avocado
- 1 carrot
- 1 handful microgreens, optional
- 1 pack of jicama, pre-sliced in water
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 lemon, optional
- Paprika
- Avocado oil, optional
- Salt and Pepper to taste
SIMPLE STEPS:
- Prepare your quinoa according to package. (Or you can do it my favorite way: bring 1 c chicken broth and 1 c water to a boil, add salt, add 1 c rinsed white quinoa to a boil, let simmer for 15 minutes, covered. Remove from heat, squeeze slice of 1 lemon and let quinoa absorb remaining water for remaining 10-20 mins. YUM!)
- Gently slice your veggies lengthwise.
- Place 2 tbsp of quinoa at the top of the nori sheet, spread thin. Layer the slices, one of each veggie, lengthwise on 1 sheet of nori, starting at the top.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, mint, microgreens and lemon juice before rolling. Then, carefully roll the sushi while pressing down. It should stick! If not, pour some avocado oil on your fingers and keep rolling it.
- Cut into sushi rolls with a serrated knife.
- Lay it out on a plate and enjoy with a cup of jasmine green tea!
