Modoki: a Japanese word that means “to mimic”
Sushi Modoki: Authentic vegan sushi that tastes—and looks—just like the real thing!
No food is more iconically Japanese than sushi. But as any vegan or vegetarian knows, there’s only so many cucumber rolls a person can eat! Enter Sushi Modoki—amazing, all-vegan re-creations of classic sushi rolls and bites. At the hands of vegan innovator iina, a cooking instructor in her native Japan, tomatoes transform into “fatty tuna,” mushrooms into “scallops,” and carrots into “salmon”—with mind-boggling results. Clear, step-by-step instructions show you how to make five different styles of sushi with all-natural, whole ingredients—and assemble elegant plates bursting with color and crunch:
- Nigiri: “fish” over rice
- Maki: sushi rolls
- Chirashi: scattered sushi bowls
- Inari: fried tofu stuffed with “fish” and rice
- Oshi: pressed sushi
Plus, you’ll find the full range of traditional sides: salads, soups, sauces, pickled vegetables, and hot and cold drinks. Sushi Modoki is the ultimate guide to becoming a vegan sushi master—with over 50 recipes to “wow” vegans and sushi-lovers alike.
