If you’re in the mood for sushi, but not the rolling-the-sushi-part, then this vegan sushi bowl is perfect for you! Top the sushi rice with crispy tofu, avocado, veggies, pickled ginger, peanut sauce, and nori bits!
I love sushi, I really do, but rolling the sushi just requires a certain amount of patience that I do not have every day. That’s when this vegan sushi bowl comes in handy.
I’ve made the rice in an instant pot, breaded and pan-fried the tofu and the rest is just cutting the veggies and assembling everything.
I absolutely love how versatile this sushi bowl is. You can add different kinds of protein (soy chunks, tempeh, jackfruit, seitan); or use different veggies (steamed broccoli or edamame for example). You can also use vegan sriracha mayo or hoisin sauce, instead of the peanut butter.
The perfect condiment, of course, is pickled ginger. I had some homemade pickled ginger in the fridge, which I used.
A vegan sushi bowl is also a great dish to take to work, school or university (in this case just add a little bit of lemon juice on your avocados to prevent them from getting brown).
If you’re looking at the ingredients and thinking ‘holy moly, that’s a lot, nope, cannot do this’, bear with me. You will notice that most of the ingredients are regarding the tofu. I’ve been making this sushi bowl a lot and I’m quite picky when it comes to the perfect crispy tofu. This is why I am using three different kinds of textures for the tofu breading (flour, fine breadcrumbs and panko flakes/breadcrumbs). This is to ensure that the tofu is coated evenly and also adds a lovely crunch and texture to the breading. If you want to use only one kind, I’d suggest going for fine breadcrumbs.

If you're in the mood for sushi, but not the rolling-the-sushi-part, then this vegan sushi bowl is perfect for you! Top the sushi rice with crispy tofu, avocado, veggies, pickled ginger, peanut sauce, and nori bits!
Sushi Rice: Wash the rice until the water stays relatively clear. Drain it. Cook the rice with the same amount of water in an instant pot with the white rice setting. Then transfer the rice into a large bowl, add the sushi seasoning vinegar, mix it, and let it cool off completely.
Crispy Tofu: Whisk together the ingredients for the tofu coating in one bowl, in another bowl combine the ingredients for the tofu breading. Heat a large pan with oil to medium to high heat. Dip each tofu rectangle first into the tofu coating, then into the tofu breading, then place them into the pan and pan-fry them for 4-5 minutes on each side until crispy.
Time to assemble! First, add a layer of sushi rice onto the plate, then top with the crispy tofu, avocado slices, carrots, cucumber, pickled ginger, peanut butter, sprinkle the nori bits on top and enjoy!
Notes
*You might have to use a bit more water if you’re cooking the rice in a regular pot (and not an instant pot).

Both bowls often feature similar toppings, such as avocado, cucumber, and furikake seasoning. However, poke rice bowls may also include ingredients that are not typically found in sushi rice bowls like edamame, seaweed salad, or pineapple chunks.
These deconstructed sushi bowls (poke bowls) are made with seasoned sushi rice, marinated salmon or ahi tuna, and a spicy mayo sauce, and are an easy alternative to sushi.
Common vegan sushi accompaniments include soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari) for dipping, and occasionally, grated daikon radish, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
Sprinkle avocado slices with lemon juice in a bowl. Spread a thin layer of sesame seeds onto a sushi mat. Pick up about half a cup of cooled rice and place onto sushi mat in an even layer. Place 1/4 of the cucumber, avocado slices, bell pepper, and zucchini in a line down the middle of the rice.
You can add anything you like, whether it's Tuna, Shrimp, Salmon, or even chicken. Thus, poké bowls can be more nutritious and delicious because of the flexibility of taste and ingredients. You have the option to choose your base, select your source of protein and mix your fillings.
Sushi Bowls, also known as "Poke Bowls", are deconstructed sushi rolls, with sweet and tangy rice, marinated tomato “tuna”, edamame, and fresh juicy mango. A light and healthy meal featuring various textures and flavors, with no rolling required!
Poke bowl is a Hawaiian dish strongly rooted in the Japanese cuisine. "Poke" means "cut into pieces" and the name refers to slices or pieces of raw fish, served in the bowl over rice, with dressing, vegetables and spices.
Deconstructed food is a culinary trend. It consists of dishes in which ingredients that are normally combined together are presented separately. Consumers are invited to re-assemble them in order to recreate the dish in they very own way. As an example I am attaching a photo of a deconstructed lemon meringue pie.
Any sushi with just vegetables on it and inari sushi (sometimes called tofu pockets). Inari is my favorite along with avocado sushi. There is also sushi with fake seafood and fake fish on it, but the ones I've tried don't taste anything. Popular other vegan sushi styles are aubergine sushi and cucumber sushi.
Vegetarian sushi is likely to be a healthy choice to eat on a daily basis - assuming it's mostly vegetables and rice and maybe some tofu. However, soy sauce contains a lot of salt and if it contains caramel food coloring, it might not be the best choice.
Raw Vegan Sushi Rolls are made with fresh vegetables rolled in a nori sheet with miso and hemp hearts. They are light, healthy, and so easy to make! I've been making these raw sushi rolls for years and always have so much fun putting them together. It's easy to eat one, two, or sometimes three rolls all by myself!
Is sushi vegan? Well, it can be. Unfortunately, most sushi contains either fish or roe. But vegan sushi is nevertheless widely available in groceries and at restaurants.
You can thinly cut a cucumber to use as a wrapper for delicious sushi fillings. Or you can use a soy wrapper that comes in a variety of fun colors. Either way, you're sure to create memorable sushi that doesn't rely on the standard seaweed.
Have you ever bitten into a piece of a vegan sushi roll and thought that it still tastes fishy? Chances are, it's from the seaweed wrapping. It makes sense when you think about it. After all, seaweed grows in the ocean, which, duh, is where fish live!
Poké bowls (pronounced "poh-kay") are a type of sushi bowl that typically consists of sushi rice, shredded vegetables, and either a fish or meat topping. The word "poke" is Hawaiian for "to cut or slice." Poké bowls first became popular in Hawaii but didn't start making their way to the mainland until a few years ago.
A poke bowl (original spelling 'poke bowl', pronounced “poh-KAY bowl”) is a Hawaiian dish that has its roots deeply rooted in Japanese cuisine. “Poke” means “cut into pieces” and the name refers to the slices or cubes of raw fish that are served in a bowl along with rice, dressing, vegetables and seasonings.
Locally, a "poke bowl" means poke served over cooked rice. In dining restaurants, it is often served as like tartare (sans egg yolk) or tostada with chips of fried wonton wrappers or with prawn crackers, sometimes referred to as "poke nachos". In casual sushi restaurants, poke fills inari sushi.
This variety can appeal to those who enjoy exploring different taste profiles. Sushi-Like Experience: Poke bowls share some similarities with sushi, as they often feature raw fish, rice, and seaweed. People who love sushi but want a different presentation or combination of flavors might find poke bowls appealing.
