In this recipe for Vegetarian Spicy “Tuna” Rolls, we’re swapping the raw tuna for marinated tomatoes! You’ll be amazed at how they taste and feel just like raw tuna. So tender and salty, it’s hard to believe simple Roma tomatoes can easily be transformed into something so close to real seafood.

With layers of tender tomato “tuna”, sushi rice, spicy mayonnaise, cucumber, and avocado, these tasty rolls are perfect for a fancy dinner or date night.

First, place the tomatoes in a pot of boiling water. When the skin starts to peel, immediately transfer them to an ice bath. You can peel the skin from the tomatoes when they’re cool to the touch.

Slice the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Cut them again into bite sized pieces and place them in a bowl with the marinade for at least 30 minutes.

While you wait for the tomatoes to marinate, cook the sushi rice on the stove or in a rice cooker or Instant Pot. Season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt when it’s ready.

Assemble the vegan spicy tuna rolls by spreading some rice on a nori sheet. Spread the sriracha mayo on the rice and add cucumber, marinated tomato tuna, and avocado on top. Roll it up, then cut into even pieces using a sharp, wet knife.

The two things that really help this tomato tuna taste like real sushi-grade tuna are the soft peeled tomatoes and a zesty marinade. Tomato sushi has a similar texture to tuna because it’s tender and a little slimy (in a good way, of course). Marinating the tomatoes in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger infuses the signature salty, “from the sea” flavor.

This popular sushi roll is made with sushi-grade raw tuna, spicy mayonnaise, nori, sushi rice, and sometimes avocado. It’s a delicious, savory, and fatty roll with just the right amount of heat.

Vegetarian Sushi — The Skinny Fork

Hi, I'm Erin! Can I pour you a glass of wine? Let's have some fun in the kitchen! Maybe some pasta? A juicy steak? I've got loads of yummy, easy recipes for you! Because cooking should feel as comfy as your favorite yoga pants. ♥Who knew that making vegetarian sushi at home is SO EASY!? This Easy Vegetable Roll Sushi recipe is perfect for beginners, is made with simple ingredients and tastes SO so good. You’re going to find yourself craving this recipe ALL of the time.

UPDATE*** Many people have comment on social media that this is not sushi and is more directly similar to the Korean dish Gimbap. I totally understand that and appreciate the comments. My goal here was to recreate the sushi dish that I always get from a Japanese restaurant but simply swapping the fish with tofu to make it vegetarian. That same restaurant also serves something called tofu sushi so I was basing it off of that. In doing my research online (I have never been to Japan or Korea) this recipe made sense to call it sushi although I see how it is also very similar to gimbap. I will work harded to educate myself further.

I can’t tell you HOW excited I have been about this recipe! I’ve loved sushi for a long time but I’m relatively new to making it myself at home. Honestly, it’s SO MUCH easier than I originally thought (especially this vegetarian version that doesn’t require you to deal with raw fish!).

If, like me, you’re new to homemade sushi, then I’m very excited to show you how easy this easy and walk you through how to make it.

We made this for quite a while with just rice and veggies (I also tried it once with vegan cream cheese which was great!). However, I always felt like I really wanted some protein and more substance to this recipe. So, I added some simple sautéed tofu into the mix and OMG it really takes this sushi up a notch.

First of all, I think you all know how much I LOVE TOFU. But also, I added a super simple but really flavorful sauce to the tofu that adds so much to the tofu rolls.

You could technically slices the tofu and add it to the sushi without cooking it (if you’re looking to make this recipe super quick) but if you’ve go the time, I HIGHLY suggest taking the take to saute it. The crispiness of the tofu + the savory sauce just greatly enhance this sushi recipe!

Besides the ingredients above, the only thing that you need is a sushi mat. You can get one on Amazon for just $4 (affiliate link) and I highly recommend it if you plan to make sushi at home regularly. I’ve also seen them at Target and World Market.

Honestly, you can still roll the sushi WITHOUT the mat but I’ve found that it’s much harder to get a tight sushi roll.

Vegetarian Sushi Recipe

To make the vegan sushi, start out by cooking your rice according to the packaging instructions. I really like to cook mine in the instant pot but really any method works. Once it’s cooked, place it in a bowl and put it in the fridge to cool down while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Next up we’re going to press our tofu (see HERE for my guide on pressing tofu), slice it into thin strips, and then saute it in just a little bit of oil. Once it has a crispy crust all around, we’ll add a simple sauce to the skillet and cook it just long enough to thicken. I LOVE
