Vegan Makizushi-Style Sushi
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 cups sushi rice, cooked
  • 1 cucumber julienned
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 celery stalk, julienned
  • nori seaweed leafs
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, pour the vinegar, salt, and sugar. Heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool before using.
  2. Pour sauce into the rice and stir gently to coat each grain.
  3. Reserve the rice in bowls covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying.
  4. Put a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo mat. Garnish seaweed with rice, press down, and leave a 1 cm strip at the top end.
  5. Garnish with vegetables of your choice—taking care not to put in too much—placing the filling at the bottom of the nori leaf, the side closest to you.
  6. Roll sushi with the help of the bamboo mat. Exert some pressure to make sure you get a firm roll that stands up well. If the roll is too loose, the fillings will fall out when the roll is cut
  7. Place the finished rolls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth until you cut them for serving.

Tofu and Vegetable Stew

My kitchen is a laboratory of vegetarian meals. These days, I’m still experimenting with new ingredients, new meal ideas, and revisiting classic dishes to make vegetarian versions. Last week, I wanted a comforting hot meal, and nothing is better than a good stew to get better!

This stew is so consistent and comforting that it has even been gobbled up by my family members who aren’t vegetarian. The taste is amazing, the texture is interesting, and it has great nutritional value.

Because of the tofu in the recipe, this stew provides plant-based protein to the body. Tofu is the traditional meat substitute that comes to mind when considering vegetarianism or a meatless diet. Despite its neutral taste and soy composition, the tofu quickly absorbs the flavor of the food with which it is prepared!

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 400 gr firm Tofu
  • 3 Potatoes
  • 3 Carrots
  • 3 celery
  • ½ cup puree of tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of dry oregano and basil
  • 3 tablespoons of fresh coriander
  • Salt pepper

Instructions

  1. Over medium eat brown cook the onion and garlic in a little olive oil for 3 minutes
  2. Add the diced celery, the carrots and cook for another 5 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato puree.
  4. Extend with a little water for easy cooking. The carrots should be covered with tomato sauce.
  5. Add herbs, and salt and pepper to taste
  6. Cut 1 blocks of tofu into cubes
  7. Add the potatoes and tofu,
  8. Cover and simmer for at least 20 minutes over low heat until the carrots are tender under the fork.
  9. Serve in a bowl, sprinkle with fresh coriander.

All-Natural Carrot Dogs

Carrot "hot dogs"

A carrot is the same shape as a hot dog and close enough in color to make a decent substitute. But what about the taste? I promise you, this marinade really takes it to the next level. I think the sesame oil helps, but the vinegar gives it that “cured” flavor, too. Think of this as a fun vegetable side dish rather than as a main dish. Recipe and photo reprinted with permission from The Easy Vegan Cookbook* by Kathy Hester ©2015, published by Page Street Publishing.

Gingerly Carrot Soup

Orange Vegetable Soup carrot ginger in white bowl

This soup can be enjoyed warm or cold, depending on the time of the year. The flavors mingle the longer they hang out together, so cook it well ahead of time if possible. Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger for a milder or stronger flavor. Cancer-fighting miso helps strengthen the good bacteria in the gut, and adds a little saltiness.
