• Step 1

  Place 500 ml/18 fl oz water in a pan and bring to a boil over a
  high heat. Reduce to a simmer and pour the quinoa into the pan.
  Simmer the quinoa for 30 minutes, or until all of the water has been
  absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the rice vinegar
  into the quinoa. Set aside.

• Step 2

  To make the carrot filling, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  The other fillings require no extra preparation.

• Step 3

  Lay 1 sheet of nori flat on a sushi rolling mat or clean, dry cloth.
  Place 4 heaped tablespoons of quinoa in the centre of the sheet
  and spread to cover evenly, leaving a 2.5 cm/1 in border around the
  sheet. Using your finger or a small pastry brush, dampen the border
  of the nori sheet slightly with water.

• Step 4

  Place your chosen filling in a central line on top of the quinoa.
  Using the sushi mat or cloth, roll the nori sheet into a tight cylinder,
  enclosing all of the filling. Slice the roll into 8 pieces. Repeat with
  the remaining sheets of nori.

• Step 5

  Serve the sushi with soy sauce and wasabi paste alongside.

I've been making this exact same thing for a while now (only I tend to fill it with avocado, vegan cream cheese and chives), I much prefer it to sushi with rice. Thanks for this recipe, hopefully more people will jump on the quinoa sushi bandwagon!

I love sushi & I love quinoa. My hubby isn't fond of quinoa, but loves and makes killer sushi. He's not exactly a 'purist' when it comes to the filings, but does tend to be a bit of a stickler about the rice, because of the stickiness that helps keep the sushi together. I'd love to make it with the quinoa, but how do you get that stickiness with the quinoa?
