Step by step grilled trumpet mushroom vegan sushi
Split the rice into 8 equal parts. With wet hands, press each part into the side wall of a rectangular container as shown in the photo or form with your fingers. Pack it in firmly so it comes out as one piece. Repeat 7 more times.
Top each rice rectangle with one piece of the cooked mushroom. Wrap each with one of the nori strips and enjoy!
Vegan sushi tips & notes
- Keep your hands very wet when working with the cooked sushi rice. Rice will stick to dry hands, but not wet hands.
- Make the rice an hour in advance so it has plenty of time to cool and you don't feel rushed.
- Use a rectangular/square plastic, glass, or metal container to form the rice rectangles.

Instructions
Sushi Rice
- Rinse the rice in water until it runs clear, ~3 times.

I can see how these cuties could be a wonderful snack at a small gathering. They look delicious, and I am sure they taste great, too. Great tip on keeping your hands very wet - that really helps.
Thanks, Laura...They're especially fun if you let everyone make their own!
I've had those mushrooms but don't think I've ever seen them to buy. But I love this idea so might have to do an extra hunt for them!
I hope you find them! I always find them at Asian markets. Not sure where you live, but HMart, Ranch99, Marukai, Nijiya, etc... Good luck!
Sounds like such a brilliant idea! I love to eat vegan and I am guilty of never trying sushis this way. It's about time!
Thank you so much, Neha... Can't wait to hear what you think! They're a favorite in our house and I crave them regularly.
Such a delicious idea! Those grill marks on the trumpet mushroom are perfect! Great share!
Thank you, Tisha... they're my favorite thing right now... I could eat them every day! Glad you enjoy!
