The Mise en Place

5 of 12

Your prep station before cooking begins

Units

The finished dish tastes watery.

Drain wet produce well, add dressing gradually, and hold juicy ingredients until the final toss.

The seasoning tastes uneven.

Toss longer than feels necessary, then adjust with acid, salt, and herbs in small rounds.

The Method

IN

In a blender, add all ingredients except for the cherry tomatoes (1 cup), fresh spinach, avocado (1 count), and nori sushi seaweed sheets (4 count).

Pitfall:

Over-processing: Sunflower seeds can turn into oily paste if blended too long; pulse until just combined.

Mixture is combined to the texture described in the source method.

PROCESS

Time-sensitive

Process these ingredients until the texture is like fine grains of rice. Scrape the sides of the blender with a flat spatula to assist.

Pitfall:

Over-processing: Stop immediately once the texture reaches fine grains; blending too long will turn the seeds into a sticky paste.

Look for: the texture is like fine grains of rice.

ON

On a nori sheet, apply your sunflower seed mixture on half of the sheet.

Pitfall:

Soggy Nori: Avoid over-applying the mixture; excess moisture will cause the seaweed to lose its crispness.

Ingredients are evenly combined with no dry pockets.

ON

Time-sensitive

On that same half, apply your desired amount of toppings (cherry tomatoes (1 cup), avocado (1 count), fresh spinach). Do not add too much, because you want it to be easy to roll!

Pitfall:

Overfilling: Excessive fillings will prevent the nori from sealing, causing the roll to burst open.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

THEN

Then, roll your sushi, starting from from the side that is packed with ingredients.

Pitfall:

Loose roll: If the roll is too loose, the sushi will fall apart when sliced.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

THEN

Then, add a bit of water on the tip of the opposite side of the nori wrap (about 1 inch), to lock it in when it's wrapped.

Pitfall:

Soggy nori: Excessive water will cause the nori to disintegrate before you can seal it.

Mixture has rested for the listed time.

THEN

Then with a sharp knife, cut your sushi pieces.

Pitfall:

Crushed sushi: Pressing down hard with a dull knife will flatten the roll and ruin the shape.

Pieces are cut to the stated size or serving shape.

Pitfall:

Loose Roll: If the roll is not tight, it will fall apart during slicing. Use firm, consistent pressure.

Mixture is combined to the texture described in the source method.

This sushi tastes AMAZING with my Raw Vegan RICH Curry Thai Peanut Sauce. To get the recipe for that sauce, click HERE.

Pitfall:

Soggy nori: Dipping or dressing too early causes the nori to lose its crisp texture.

Step is complete as written in the recovered source method.

THIS

This recipe is unlike any sushi you've ever had. It's the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Serve with coconut aminos (no soy sauce!) as a dip to elevate this meal even more!

Pitfall:

Over-salting: Coconut aminos can be salty; dip lightly to maintain the balance of the sunflower seed filling.

Mixture is combined to the texture described in the source method.
