Quinoa Sushi

Delicious, cheap and easy vegan quinoa sushi! Yummy!

💟 1 cup black/red/white quinoa
💟 2 cups water
💟 1 tsp ground ginger
💟 1/2 tsp thyme leaves
💟 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
💟 fresh juice of half a lemon
💟 1 tbs tahini
💟 1 avocado, thinly sliced
💟 1 zucchini, grated
💟 1 carrot, grated
💟 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
💟 Hawaiian black lava salt to taste
💟 5 nori sheets

1⃣ Cook quinoa in water, ground ginger, thyme and salt for 15 minutes.
2⃣ When quinoa is cooked and cooled, stir through lemon juice and tahini, and season with black salt to taste.
3⃣ Place enough quinoa on a nori sheet (with bamboo mat underneath) to create a thin quinoa layer covering the entire nori sheet except the edge furthest from you.
4⃣ Top with all other ingredients and use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi, finishing with a few drops of water on the outer edge to seal the sushi.
5⃣ Slice sushi into pieces of desired size.

✴️ I recommend that you use a bamboo mat to roll the sushi. Or if you're Hawaiian use a musubi press!

✅ Nori is high in both magnesium and calcium, which makes it the ideal bone-builder!
