Tips for making veggie sushi?

Question

I'm planning on making some veggie sushi. Any ideas on a vegetarian topping/filling for maki or nigiri sushi? Thanks!

Answer 1

You should definitely check out Kimbap (which is basically a Korean roll, that's basically vegetarian).

Here's a nice site:

It's absolutely delicious and really not at all pricey.

Answer 2

1. Shitake mushroom cooked in dashi (Japanese stock)

2. Umeboshi ( dried plum)

3. Cucumber

4. takuwan (pickled radish)

5. furikake

6. carrots

7. pickled ginger

8. Avocado

Answer 3

When I worked as a chef we used cucumbers sliced and in strips, blanched carrot the same way, daikon radish either plain or pickled, pickled ginger, spinach, red/green peppers either raw or roasted, green onions, any sauteed mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini and summer squash anything that can be eaten raw /partially cooked or cooked is open to a sushi of some type.

For Maki style is better, even reverse style, on nigiri style it is trickier, but can be done.
