Jasmine absolutely loves sushi. Can Merle come up with a vegan sushi recipe that Jasmine will approve of?
Tomato "Tuna" Sushi
INGREDIENTS
Tomato “Tuna”
4 large Roma tomatoes
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup unsweetened rice wine vinegar
1½ teaspoons sugar
1 nori sheet, torn into small pieces
½ cup neutral oil, such as canola
Assembly
[Sushi Rice] (tasty.co/recipe/how-to-throw-...)
1-2 tablespoons wasabi paste, or to taste
1-2 nori sheets, cut into ½-inch strips
PREPARATION
Using a sharp paring knife, cut a small “x” in the bottom of each tomato. Using the tip of the knife, carefully remove the core of each tomato.
Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set nearby. When the water is simmering, add the tomatoes and cook for 60-90 seconds, until the skin begins to peel away from the flesh near the “x” and core. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice bath and let cool for 2-3 minutes, until no longer warm to the touch.
Carefully peel away the skins and discard. Cut the tomatoes into quarters and remove the seeds. You should be left with smooth, flat pieces of tomato flesh.
In a wide glass dish, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, torn nori, and oil.
Add the tomato to the dish and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
Remove the tomato from the fridge and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
To assemble, take about 1 tablespoon of sushi rice and shape it between your palms to create an oblong shape, being careful not to pack the rice too tightly. Place a small dab of wasabi paste on top of the rice and top with a marinated piece of tomato “tuna”. Wrap a strip of nori around the middle, if desired. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Enjoy!

She's my favorite judge so far. Jasmine really appreciates what the vegan options are and gives full truth about how delicious they all are ON THEIR OWN but is also honest about the comparison to the real thing.

Beef and chicken have really great vegan substitutes nowadays, but seafood - no. I have found no vegan sub that replaces it. Some are really delicious, yet taste nothing like what they are imitating. I've been vegan for years and still remember the taste of salmon and crab.

If you go purely by taste alone with all the saturated fat and cholesterol laden in animal flesh (human animals love the taste of saturated fat) of course we will all choose to eat fish flesh sushi. But saving the ocean and the sea animals is the whole point of veganism. It's not just about the taste comparison. The funny thing is, once you wean yourself away from saturated fat from animal flesh, you crave it far less and your palette actually become more sensitive and refined. It's like of you stop eating sugar laden dessert you taste the natural sweetness of fruit better

That's so correct, for whatever the reasons anyone is or not vegan (and i hope a lot vegan ingredients are enriched with exclusive to animals nutrients like b12) there is no need to have "just like non-vegan" vegan food, vegan food have its own flavour and is tasty at it's own way

That's the thing I really don't like in a lot of vegan / vegetarian joints. Plant-based food is delicious on its own. There are tons of mind-blowing plant-based dishes around the world that don't go as "vegan" , they are just local specialties. While I get that doing vegan substitutes may help some people transition to plant-based diet, and it's always a bit of a sport to see if you can recreate something, but when you get "vegan cordon bleu with vegan caviar and veganaise and vegan cheesecake with vegan latte for dessert" all day, it's just sad. As if plant-based food is not good enough on its own.

I made vegan "tuna" from a red bell pepper and it has a great texture and neutral taste. You simply slice the red bell pepper in half and roast it in the oven until the skin becomes a bit blackened and the pepper is soft. Peel and discard the skin. I imagine if you then marinade it in Merle's concoction, it would taste even more divine!

Tip for roasting peppers, just put them in whole until the skin goes black over maybe half of it, straight out of the oven stick them under cold running water and the skins will pucker and some right off, you can wash out the seeds really easily. Makes it easier when you are doing a few peppers at a time

I feel like vegan alternatives are like the film adaptations of the food world. When you see a film adaptation of your favorite book, it’s tempting to scrutinize and compare it to its source material. But adaptations are their OWN piece of art. You should try to understand/maybe even appreciate it for what it is without constantly comparing it to the book, you know?

Just eat fresh and delicious foods and the vegetarian/vegan eating experience will go much better for you.

I definitely see that, it's hard to come at something thinking it will taste like beef, chicken, fish etc and then it just having a completely different and its own unique and complex flavour. I'm so excited to splurge and try to make my own vegan sushi.

Replacements, substitutions and alternatives just give me hand burger helper vibes. Much prefer the honesty approach. No disrespect to Merle either!

Sylvie G sushi are gluten free 🤷🏻‍♀️

@sylvieg1629 4 жыл бұрын

delfine99 some are and some are not :)) sometimes gluten can be found in the sauces our soy sauce restaurants use and the slightest bit of contamination can cause someone to have a reaction :) GoiNg to a strictly gluten free sushi restaurant or making your own is the safest choice

From a Vegetarian, that loved meat, I really recommend to try go vegetarian sometime! You start feeling so much better with yourself and your environment!

I dislike when people saying going vegan is easy, it all depends on where you live and financial status. I went vegan after being vegetarian for about 4 months and I can say that going vegetarian is more commonly easy and available to more people. I find my mind is clearer and my body is healthier after I stopped eating animals.

This is untrue for a lot op people, going vegetarian can also make people go sick depending on any conditions/allergies/medication you already have! Please talk to a a doctor before making a huge dietary change ^^

When I lived in Milan, Italy, I could find delicious seaweed from the North of France and Britain. They were sold in a glass jar in small flakes whose color ranged between green and red. I put the flakes on pasta dishes as a substitute for grated parmesan, the taste was incredibly delicious, really delicious! Marla, from sister to sister, experiment with local seaweed and not Japanese ones. Seaweeds are everywhere, they are highly nutritious and can be used in different recipes! I 'm Italian and I grew up eating fabulous food thanks to my mother who is an excellent cook (she won a couple of cooking contests in the company she used to work for!) 😉💖😁

I just got a great recipe /cookbook called Sushi Modoki. It’s all vegan sushi. The food looks beautiful. Wish there was a shogun near me. Their food looks incredible.
