Vegetarian sushi rolls are a wonderful choice for sushi enthusiasts too conscious about their health and the life of animals. To be completely honest, your Dubai Sushi experience isn’t really complete without trying them. The vegetables in a good veggie sushi roll are fresh, pickled, are bursting with Vitamins A, C, and E. Moreover, the seaweed in which they are wrapped is a great source of calcium, zinc, and iodine. For an even healthier experience, you have the options to either completely skip the rice or choose to have brown rice in its place. The following variations of sushi rolls are what you may want to opt for when trying to eat healthy vegetarian sushi.
Cucumber & Hummus Roll
Hummus is a classic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean item and a popular dip used in many different parts of the world. Who would have thought it would taste so nice in combination with the Japanese cuisine? It’s a pretty basic roll that does wonders to your taste buds, especially if the idea of fusion is exciting to you: a concoction of hummus, yuzu and cucumbers. Prepared with mashed chickpeas blended with some citrus such as lemon, garlic, and tahini, Hummus brings a creamy texture to it. Yuzu is a breathtaking, refreshing tangy fruit which brings a little burst of flavor in your mouth. Without yuzu you might find it slightly boring.
Aubergine Sushi Square
It would not be wrong to say that the eggplant is an acquired taste. Many children and even adults seem to shy, rather run away from the mere mention of eggplant for lunch or dinner. These Squares might also be a good way to introduce eggplant haters to this wonderful vegetable. Its prepared by placing the eggplant on the rice, with a mix of sauces and vegetables, just like a donburi.
Sundried Tomato Basil Roll
Tomatoes and basil go together so well that it’s almost impossible to imagine them in isolation. Sundried tomatoes are a whole another ballgame, and guess what, they go excellently as the heroes of these veggie sushi rolls.
The above-mentioned rolls are a great example of less is more and minimalists will fall in love with them! Sushi has a reputation for being one of the tastiest and healthiest dishes, but it can seem difficult for vegetarians to find the perfect Japanese sushi as most sushi meals involve raw meat.
Thankfully, the best sushi restaurants in Dubai are now taking the healthy route by catching onto the vegetarian trend. Not only are the above-mentioned rolls healthy, but they also ensure a delicious sushi experience.
