Made both these recipes and also the vegan spicy crab sushi from your channel over the weekend for a family sushi night. Everyone including my 9 yr old and 7 yr old absolutely loved these, we completely devoured them !!!. Thanks for an amazingly delicious recipe!!!
Proof that my phone is listening - we decide to make sushi tonight and a bunch of vegan sushi videos show up in my feed.... your videos are making me want to step up my planned sushi menu. Really really impressive. I’m definitely adding eggplant to the grocery list 👍
I hope this one does as well as the last sushi video did, you deserve the exposure after how much work you have put into TH-cam. Good information and tips as usual.
These look AMAZING 🤩 I was never a sushi or eggplant fan, but recently have become a fan of both after seeing some plant based inspirations like these! Can’t wait to try these! 🙌
Looks so good. I’m a vegetarian and my wife is omnivorous, but soon we are having houseguests and one is vegetarian and the other is gluten free. Looking forward to cooking meals all of can enjoy, and this just made my sushi game possible. Thanks dude, you’re the best!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping and taking the time to comment. Let me know how it works out for you. I recently made a few different vegan rolls for some omni family, and it went really well. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
I made my own version of a tofu Cali roll, tuna roll and nigiri sushi for my class XD it was so fun but also took a lot of time to make.... Your videos were a huge inspiration!! Thank you for making such creative and fun recipes!! Hope your channel becomes famous soon!
Thank you! I really appreciate your support. I've been making these videos for about 10 months now, and I'm still having fun. It means a lot to hear that people are enjoying them. Thank you.
Tried this recipe today and it was a huge success! I did some substitutions in order to use ingredients I already had at home (used a regular eggplant cut to a width similar to that of a Chinese eggplant, subbed the cucumber for carrot, added baby spinach and baked tofu to one of the four rolls I made) and it was still delicious. It was also my first time making sushi at home and the final result was beautiful, all thanks to your detailed and thorough instructions 😊
@@MonsonMadeThis well, your reply and knowing my comment made you happy has also made me happy, so I guess we're even now :) I was on a quest to find a vegan sushi recipe that included more than just raw veggies and fruits (why go for the boring basics on my first sushi attempt, right?) and that's how I stumbled upon your video. Now I'm off to binge watch more of your videos... perhaps you'll hear back from me in another comment section after I give your other recipes a try? :) Have a great day!
Nice! Definitely having a sushi night in the near future. I've also discovered (if you wanna save some time) that the Kikkoman brand ungagi sushi sauce is vegan =)
This is a work of art in terms of how well you thought through the flavors and ingredients for maximum umami. Please stay creative! I hope you gain more subscribers :)
For me, the best way to stay vegan has been to find ways to cook the foods that I love, without the animal products. That's my journey and my "ministry". If you feel like you're missing out, or having to give things up, then you're not going to want to stay vegan. The more delicious that it is for you, the easier it's going to be.
@@MonsonMadeThis I appreciate the advice. Yes, going vegan is great for the environment and saving the animals but my goal being vegan is for my health. I found amazing benefits doing it. 😁👌
oh my god this is crazy i love the eel rolls too and thought eggplant would be a good replacement & ive been experimenting for months~ i hope you upload more sushi videos. & try to make tamago somehow T__T
Taige Stevenson Thank you! It's all about the rice cooker. I tried to make rice on the stove top for years and I always failed. Having a rice cooker really upped my rice game.
I have no idea how you’re not at a million subscribers. I’m binging on your older videos and so so happy to find sushi. I’m so excited to try this. You are truly inspiring and put out such good content. Thank you for another amazing video.
That's sweet of you to say. And thanks for watching my back catalog. I should do a video soon where I look back on some of my older videos... I'm hope I've improved a little bit at least.
They look amazing I had vegan Sushi today for lunch it was okay but yours looks so much better and I'm sure tastes so much better thanks for the video I will be trying it
I'm normally disappointing by vegan sushi in restaurants, mostly because it's so expensive for what you get, and considering the ingredients.... I have three sushi videos on this channel. I think they're all pretty good, and fairly customizable. Let me know if you give any a try! Thanks for watching.
I love vegan sushi and you,re dragon roll and caterpillar roll are so asome. I can,t belive thats eggplant on the dragon roll. Amazing i love both sushi rolls. I am gonna try to make them. Thanks for the recipe👋🏼😁😄👍🏼
@@MonsonMadeThis yeah you should totaly do that. I know i will watch that video and making the sushi at home👍🏼😄😁👏🏽🍱👋🏼 have a Nice day bye greetings from the Netherlands🐛🐉🍱
steamed taro cubes and sea asparagus makes an amazing filling and/or poke (po-kay) when dressed with sesame garlic ginger and chili oil fyi. Aloha from Honolulu.
That's really sweet of you to say. Ben and I have a good time making the videos, so it means a lot when people enjoy them. The quest for views is an uphill climb. The balance of quality content with gimmicks to get views... I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
My family having a Seafood Christmas and this would be added to my Dishes for my vegan brothers I prepare meals for...Only thing I've never tried the Chinese eggplant before this will be my first time ( I'm a newbie in eating eggplants, I fell in love with eggplant bacon ) ...Im hitting IKEA in the a.m....giggles
That's awesome that you're looking out for your vegan brothers. Chinese eggplant is fairly available in my area, but if you can't find it, just use a regular large eggplant. Just cut it thin, and then maybe cut it in half lengthwise before cooking. Eggplant comes in all shapes and sizes, but from what I can tell, they all taste the same. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try, and let me know what your brothers think of it.
Viola Mckar Yes, it is very nice that you are cooking vegan for your brothers. Not all vegans experience that type of understanding from their families.
Thank you, I fast a lot with my church (Orthodox Christian) we give up eggs milk cheese and meat products every Wed-Fri. so it's a lifestyle for me and it also another blessing... giggles
Monson this was a hit, ( found Chinese eggplants) with the whole family, everyone devour the vegan sushi. Almost forgot about the seafood sushi I made. And thank you, I hit Ikea for the vegan fish eggs and was shocked that I over looked this item, everyone was so amazed of this product added on and kept asking where they can buy some.. So was again I walked away from a family gathering with my head held high...😎😎😎😎
I love that Vegan spicey mayo. It looks so good and the seawead pearls on top looks so beautifull,expensive and delisiouse i love those rolls i wish i could eat them right now hahaha. I love this video. Keep on making them👋🏼👍🏼😁😄✌🏽
I know this is an old video, but I'm really enjoying the sushi series so far! You came up with some creative substitutions, but they're also fairly simple and you break the process down well. I was wondering if you knew the exact product information for the rice cooker you use? I am looking to buy one and want to make sure it works well.
Thank you! Here is the rice cooker that I use and love: www.amazon.com/dp/B005FVROW6/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.LFW55X28AUPI&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_monsonmadethis_dp_vv_d
Wow so beautiful, inspiring and look delicious! Thank you for all the work you put into this! I subscribed for sure! I hope you do more vegan recipes, I’m vegan and am always looking for great recipes! Great job, as you said vegan sushi is rare and expensive and ruins it for me knowing that raw fish is made right there and next to it. I just can’t go to non vegan restaurants. Thank you again, you’re really great at this!
Thank you for the sushi recipes ! I will use them. I just wanted to point out the part about No plastic July, which I’m glad you participate only …so you don’t use cellophane but you bought a plastic sushi roller and use a plastic cutting board and plastic baking liner. There was also plastic sesame seed jar and maybe plastic in the handle of the knife. I realize it’s been 5 years since this but I hope you quickly realized how much plastic you used while avoiding plastic. Plastic wrap is the quickest to go in the landfill and ocean for sure but plastic is becoming more inescapable these days for sure and it sucks
OMG-LOVE sushi! Could eat it everyday and never get tired of it! Beautiful rolls! The use of eggplant for the unagi is GENIUS! Ditto with the non-stick silicone(?) mat and vegan ROE??? Say WHAT??? (Damn! Something else to add to my IKEA list!!!)
So, most refined white sugar is processed through "bone char", which is exactly what it sounds like. If you purchase organic, or "bone char free", then it's "vegan sugar". It's just something to be aware of if you're strictly trying to avoid any animal products. Thanks for watching!
Hi from Florida, went to grocery this week and bought the needed supplies to try these great looking rolls. I will let you know. Ever watch the video 'East Side Sushi'? You might get a kick out of it. I found it on ROKU. Happy cooking. : )
Howdy! Can't wait to hear how it turns out for you! And YES, I actually watched it some time ago. About the Latina woman in LA who become a sushi chef? I loved it!
Beautifull vegan sushi rolls. I made sushi for the first time today and they kept falling apart on me wen i cut them 😔☹ i want to eat you,re sushi so bad. I love sushi and you,res looks amazing👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Not exactly... from Bon Appetit, "Dry white wine or rice vinegar will also do, though you'll need to counteract the sourness with about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for every tablespoon you use."
Thank you for this, we love Sushi, here in Germany, we always get a prepared ginger and wasabi , is this also the case in the US? Maybe that could just add the final piece de resistance.
Thanks for watching! And yes, sushi here comes with ginger and wasabi. I never eat the ginger, and I usually just mix the wasabi with my soy sauce. I didn't even think of adding them to the plate, but it would definitely add to the look.
It looks absolutely delicious! However I'm not a great cook and my country has different types of measurements, so I'm not confident that I'll be able to pull this off lol. But IF I choose to dare and make an attempt, I have a question! Does that microwave/oven/thingy have the same system like... regular ovens? Like if I don't have an oven like that and just a big, regular one, can I put the eggplants in the same heat-number and the same amount of time??? I've never used an oven like the one you used in the video so I have no idea
Give it a try! You might surprise yourself. The small oven I have is just a small convection oven. It doesn't use microwaves or anything, so it cooks just about the same as any other oven. You should be able to put the eggplant in whatever oven you have with the same results. Depending on your oven, it might take a bit longer, or less time, but otherwise it should be the same.
Hello Mason made this. Were did you get that plastic rolling mat? I use a bamboo mat for my sushi. But i want to try it whit a plastic matt. I think you,re plastic matt is more hygienic that the bamboo matt. Realy helpfull video
Hello! I purchased mine at a Japanese store near me called Tokyo Discount. I'm sure if you should be able to easily find them online, and for very little money. I think I paid less than $5 for mine. They are really nice in terms of sticking, and yeah, they rinse off and clean much easier and you don't have to use any plastic wrap.
The one I have is OXO. I "borrowed" it a long time ago from an old roommate. It has the V shaped blades... It works really well. I wish I had a metal one, though. The glove is key. It makes it some much less scary, which makes the mandolin work a bit better, I think.
If you watch the pros (which I am not), you'll see that they just distribute the rice around without pushing it down. It's like they try to separate the grains of rice as they try to cover the nori. When you push it down it just changes the texture. It's much lighter if you don't. Less dense. Through the rolling process, the rice will get pushed down a bit, so it just comes out better if you don't press it down in the beginning.
I never know whitch way to put the Nori sheed. I always seems to put the Nori sheed backwards and my sushi rolls fall apart on me😒😔😑Do you have any tips for me? I love this recipe video Thank you 👍🏼😁🐉🐛🍱
I think the rice is supposed to go on the side that is a bit rougher; not the shiny side. How are they falling apart? Are they breaking, or is the rice just falling out? I find that a big trick is the rice. Always use a short grain rice, and cook it with the right water ratio. If a rice is too dry, or is a longer grain, it won't stick together. Thanks for watching! Good luck!
@@MonsonMadeThis hello the Rice is falling out the roll they don,t break. The Rice come,s out of a box for making sushi. All of the things you need to make the sushi whit are in the box and there was Rice included so i don,t know if it was short gain riced or not. Still have the box so i could check this for you tommorow after work. Thanks for helping me. I love the sushi video
I like "calrose" rice or short grain rice. Google directions for cooking it for sushi. The kit might not be a very good kit, unfortunately. Just buy the nori and the rice separately, and you might have better luck.
Maybe? It would change the texture of the rice and affect the freshness. Personally, I don't think it would be worth it. Grocery store sushi vs. sushi bar sushi.
Thanks! "more ambitious and labor-intensive" Haha! Would have been nice of them to notify or ask me, but it's bringing people here, so I'm OK with it. Thanks!
@@MonsonMadeThis Your welcome! I was actually looking for vegan sushi restaurants near me (p.s. there aren't any lol) and happened to read that article. I've been subbed to you for a while now and figured you didn't know since they didn't mention your name. Which is why I thought you should know. They could have given you credit for sure!
You should Google it to find out a bit more, but it has to do with the use of "bone char" to refine white sugar in the States. In terms of the eggplant, there are different sizes. Japanese, Chinese and Filipino are all longer and skinnier, with a thinner skin. Indian are often small and round.
I've never had sushi (granted i've been vegan for the last 18 yrs) so i recently tried my hand at making vegan sushi. Unfortunately the very poor quality of the only sushi nori i could find in my small town ruined the dish. It was impossibly chewy and tasted of rank fish, which i guess that's not how it should be. It wasn't even edible, i had to spit it out 🙁
Plastic free July??? Not sure what that is, but the amount of plastic being used in this video pretty much dwarfs any use of some film for wrapping. Not even sure "plastic free" is even possible anymore. I am going to try this recipe for sure, but...all the egg plant is going on the inside. 😊
@@MonsonMadeThis I’m sorry, my comment came across as negative. I love your channel and I follow you all the time. I have made many of your dishes and I think you are a genius in the kitchen. Thank you so much 😊
@@evandaranikone8864 Actually, the word "sushi" refers to the seasoned rice. No fish required in order for me to accurately use that word. There's definitely seasoned rice in all of my sushi videos.
Made both these recipes and also the vegan spicy crab sushi from your channel over the weekend for a family sushi night. Everyone including my 9 yr old and 7 yr old absolutely loved these, we completely devoured them !!!. Thanks for an amazingly delicious recipe!!!

I love that your phone suggested me! Haha. Thanks for watching. Let me know how they turn out.

Yum! I totally love this approach to making food from scratch instead of spending tons of money at a restaurant.
Me too! You save money, learn a skill, and have a sense of pride. WIN WIN WIN!
I hope this one does as well as the last sushi video did, you deserve the exposure after how much work you have put into TH-cam. Good information and tips as usual.

I appreciate that. We're still having fun making content, so as long as we enjoy what we're doing, we'll be here. Thanks!
Monson Made This saving our convo so that I can say I knew it when you hit your millions!
I need this in my life!
You really do. Haha.
I'm definitely not vegan but I am so making this.
I think you'll love it!
Beautifull vegan sushi rolls. I made sushi for the first time today and they kept falling apart on me wen i cut them 😔☹ i want to eat you,re sushi so bad. I love sushi and you,res looks amazing👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Don't give up! I have the gift of editing to make me look good. Haha. Just keep practicing.
Haha thanks i,ll keep trying thanks for all you,re tips in the video👍🏼👋🏼😁😄
These look so good. Will seasoned rice vinegar work in place of the mirin tho? I don't have any.
Not exactly... from Bon Appetit, "Dry white wine or rice vinegar will also do, though you'll need to counteract the sourness with about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for every tablespoon you use."
I subscribed!
Idk why but hes so cute
Thank you for this, we love Sushi, here in Germany, we always get a prepared ginger and wasabi , is this also the case in the US? Maybe that could just add the final piece de resistance.
Thanks for watching! And yes, sushi here comes with ginger and wasabi. I never eat the ginger, and I usually just mix the wasabi with my soy sauce. I didn't even think of adding them to the plate, but it would definitely add to the look.
Hello Monson, where did you find this white sushi mat? Seems really good.
Howdy! Silicone or plastic mats are available at most kitchen and Japanese stores. You can definitely get them on Amazon, too.
It looks absolutely delicious! However I'm not a great cook and my country has different types of measurements, so I'm not confident that I'll be able to pull this off lol. But IF I choose to dare and make an attempt, I have a question! Does that microwave/oven/thingy have the same system like... regular ovens? Like if I don't have an oven like that and just a big, regular one, can I put the eggplants in the same heat-number and the same amount of time??? I've never used an oven like the one you used in the video so I have no idea
Give it a try! You might surprise yourself. The small oven I have is just a small convection oven. It doesn't use microwaves or anything, so it cooks just about the same as any other oven. You should be able to put the eggplant in whatever oven you have with the same results. Depending on your oven, it might take a bit longer, or less time, but otherwise it should be the same.
Yes Sir
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Hello Mason made this. Were did you get that plastic rolling mat? I use a bamboo mat for my sushi. But i want to try it whit a plastic matt. I think you,re plastic matt is more hygienic that the bamboo matt. Realy helpfull video
Hello! I purchased mine at a Japanese store near me called Tokyo Discount. I'm sure if you should be able to easily find them online, and for very little money. I think I paid less than $5 for mine. They are really nice in terms of sticking, and yeah, they rinse off and clean much easier and you don't have to use any plastic wrap.
What brand mandolin slicer do u recommend?? I bought 2 different ones but they didnt work out
The one I have is OXO. I "borrowed" it a long time ago from an old roommate. It has the V shaped blades... It works really well. I wish I had a metal one, though. The glove is key. It makes it some much less scary, which makes the mandolin work a bit better, I think.
Can you use regular Eggplant?
I wouldnt recommend it. I tried it a few weeks ago, and it came out as just mush.
Great!
Just found you through a student you had’s Snapchat story! I think my fiancé might like this 😍
Haha. Random! Welcome. I'm glad you found me.
I've seen in other videos that they do push down the rice. Why do you suggest it's best to not push it down?
If you watch the pros (which I am not), you'll see that they just distribute the rice around without pushing it down. It's like they try to separate the grains of rice as they try to cover the nori. When you push it down it just changes the texture. It's much lighter if you don't. Less dense. Through the rolling process, the rice will get pushed down a bit, so it just comes out better if you don't press it down in the beginning.
Yaaaaassssssss 😍😍😍😋
Haha. Thank you!
Is Store bought eel sauce just as good? What if I water it down
Store-bought is great if you can find it, and if it doesn't have anything funky in it.
I never know whitch way to put the Nori sheed. I always seems to put the Nori sheed backwards and my sushi rolls fall apart on me😒😔😑Do you have any tips for me? I love this recipe video Thank you 👍🏼😁🐉🐛🍱
I think the rice is supposed to go on the side that is a bit rougher; not the shiny side. How are they falling apart? Are they breaking, or is the rice just falling out? I find that a big trick is the rice. Always use a short grain rice, and cook it with the right water ratio. If a rice is too dry, or is a longer grain, it won't stick together. Thanks for watching! Good luck!
@@MonsonMadeThis hello the Rice is falling out the roll they don,t break. The Rice come,s out of a box for making sushi. All of the things you need to make the sushi whit are in the box and there was Rice included so i don,t know if it was short gain riced or not. Still have the box so i could check this for you tommorow after work. Thanks for helping me. I love the sushi video
I like "calrose" rice or short grain rice. Google directions for cooking it for sushi. The kit might not be a very good kit, unfortunately. Just buy the nori and the rice separately, and you might have better luck.
@@MonsonMadeThis Thank you so mutch for sharing this recipe and Thank you for you,re tips👋🏼😊
But why not refrigerate before cutting? Would it help?
Maybe? It would change the texture of the rice and affect the freshness. Personally, I don't think it would be worth it. Grocery store sushi vs. sushi bar sushi.
@@MonsonMadeThis interesting. Ok thanks appreciate the response
Vegan sugar??
"A quarter cup of urine?" Says the cook. You can get the blade wet before slicing rolls.
What?! It's been a while since I've watched this video, but I don't recall saying that...
Great socks
Haha Thanks
I found this video linked on Vegan.com
That's cool. Can you post the link to where it is on that website?
@@MonsonMadeThis I found it here: www.vegan.com/sushi/
Thanks! "more ambitious and labor-intensive" Haha! Would have been nice of them to notify or ask me, but it's bringing people here, so I'm OK with it. Thanks!
@@MonsonMadeThis Your welcome! I was actually looking for vegan sushi restaurants near me (p.s. there aren't any lol) and happened to read that article. I've been subbed to you for a while now and figured you didn't know since they didn't mention your name. Which is why I thought you should know. They could have given you credit for sure!
I forget the sesam seeds again at the Store😔😑😒😒😒
Oh no! It'll still be good, though. Promise.
@@MonsonMadeThis ok if you say so 😁👍🏼👋🏼🍱
"Vegan sugar"?! Isn't all sugar vegan? What's the difference between a Chinese "eggplant" and an ordinary one?
You should Google it to find out a bit more, but it has to do with the use of "bone char" to refine white sugar in the States. In terms of the eggplant, there are different sizes. Japanese, Chinese and Filipino are all longer and skinnier, with a thinner skin. Indian are often small and round.
“Ordinary” to who?

"plastic free july" he says. as damn near everything hes using is made of plastic in the next shot.
I've never had sushi (granted i've been vegan for the last 18 yrs) so i recently tried my hand at making vegan sushi. Unfortunately the very poor quality of the only sushi nori i could find in my small town ruined the dish. It was impossibly chewy and tasted of rank fish, which i guess that's not how it should be. It wasn't even edible, i had to spit it out 🙁
I'm sorry that your first experience wasn't great. Don't give up!
🙏😍👍👍👍
Plastic free July??? Not sure what that is, but the amount of plastic being used in this video pretty much dwarfs any use of some film for wrapping. Not even sure "plastic free" is even possible anymore. I am going to try this recipe for sure, but...all the egg plant is going on the inside. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and leave a comment. Your views and engagement really help my channel grow. I appreciate the support.
Looks delicious but too much work for me.
Just here to inspire and give ideas. Do what works for you!
@@MonsonMadeThis I’m sorry, my comment came across as negative. I love your channel and I follow you all the time. I have made many of your dishes and I think you are a genius in the kitchen. Thank you so much 😊
01:40 Quarter cup of urine? 😳
I would probably use something less acidic. Check out the full recipe on monsonmadethis.com to see exactly what I used.
You can’t call it sushi
Looks like I already did.
Monson Made This but it doesn’t have fish it’s not sushi
@@evandaranikone8864 Actually, the word "sushi" refers to the seasoned rice. No fish required in order for me to accurately use that word. There's definitely seasoned rice in all of my sushi videos.
