iina

An acclaimed Japanese vegan chef presents an innovative collection of recipes and techniques for making sushi, nigiri, rolls and more—all without meat.

 Sushi is perhaps the most iconic Japanese food. But as any vegan or vegetarian knows, there’s only so many cucumber rolls a person can eat. Enter chef iina with her unique, all-vegan re-creations of classic sushi rolls and bites. She calls them Sushi Modoki—“modoki” being Japanese for “mimic.”

 In iina’s hands, tomatoes transform into “fatty tuna,” mushrooms into “scallops,” and carrots into “salmon”—with mind-boggling, irresistibly delicious 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 more than 50 recipes to “wow” vegans and sushi-lovers alike.
