Instructions
Vegan Sushi Bowls
  1. In a bowl, mix together sriracha and vegan mayonnaise. Set Aside
  2. In another large bowl, add hot water, rice wine vinegar, and vegan fish sauce
  3. Submerge mushrooms in the hot water mixture and marinate for about thirty minutes (the mushrooms may float, so put another bowl on top of them to make sure they are fully submerged)
  4. While your mushrooms are marinating, set up your dredging station
  5. In one bowl, mix together your flour and cornstarch, stirring to combine
  6. In another bowl, add your almond milk
  7. Transfer marinated mushrooms to a paper towel lined plate
  8. Add mushrooms to your flour/cornstarch mixture, then into the almond milk, then back into the flour/cornstarch mixture, making sure each mushroom is thoroughly coated
  9. In a pot on medium heat, add enough oil to fry your mushrooms
  10. Once the oil reaches 350 degree F, fry the coated mushrooms in 2-3 small batches until browned and crispy, about 5-6 minutes
  11. Place crispy mushrooms on a paper towel lined plate
  12. Toss crispy mushrooms in your spicy mayo-sriracha sauce
  13. Assemble sushi bowls with rice, assorted veggies, and crispy hot n spicy mushrooms
  14. Garnish with sesame seeds and 1-2 tablespoons vegan teriyaki sauce
  15. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi
  16. ENJOY!!!
Notes
1. Vegan fish sauce can be found at many Asian markets. If you are not able to find vegan or vegetarian fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce.
2. For our vegan sushi bowls, I ‘ribboned’ our carrots and cucumbers. To do so, take a vegetable peeler and peel the carrots and cucumbers lengthwise, creating ‘ribbons’. This is definitely a bit time consuming, so you can just shred or chop your vegetables if you prefer.
