Just a few things to note.... 1.) no, I didn't season my rice but you are more than welcome to! I enjoy the more 'raw'/natural flavor of it but you can look up recipes online that include rice vinegar, salt, sugar, etc. It's definitely another tasty way to enjoy sushi rolls! 2.) I know that the bamboo mat isn't used as a 'place mat' of sorts lol I had it there in case I needed it (you can see in a few of the sped up clips I used it to help me roll) but this time around my hands were rolling just fine. Figured I'd still keep it in the video in case people didn't know about it so they could get themselves one if they need the help! 3.) yes, Fig was on my stove... I'll leave it at that lol. Glad most of you enjoyed the video! Happy cooking to you!!
Tina P I'm asking honestly: how was I being passive aggressive? I was just trying to address some major points that a lot of people were hitting on in one place so I didn't have to reply the same thing a million times to loads of people.
Thrift Thick I think as Minnesotan we come off as being "passive aggressive" more so than other people. don't worry about what other people think or say about it, I don't think you were being PA, but I'm also Minnesotan so we speak the same language. :-P
Tina P First off, I found nothing passive aggressive about what she had to say. Secondly, even if she were to be passive aggressive, that'd be her prerogative especially with how some people can be so hateful towards her over literally nothing. Maybe you should go through the comments and give them Hell instead of her. 😘✌
she is showing how to make them not making them for you who cares if her cats are on her stove you don't have to put a cat on your stove if you decide to make it!
I'm so sick of seeing people constantly complaining on your videos, and picking on little things. I find your videos so relaxing and you have literally become on of my favorite humans on youtubeland! Keep up the great work Cassie :D xx
rice is dirty..but non asians tend to not wash rice or eat calrose rice...its bullshit that it is flushing away vitamins..it is flshing away the dirt and grime
"Real" rice is very dirty and has rice weevil eggs in it (they are bugs) look it up. You should definitely rinse rice. Now if you're buying minute rice or other processed rice that is a different story. Not to put down non asians but trust an asian person's advice when it comes to rice we know what we are talking about because it is knowledge passed on through generations. Wash your rice -_-
Carlie Morgan I add the vinegar and to my rice after cooled a bit. Then make my roll. I wipe my knife on a paper towel when it gets gunky with vinegar on it so it keeps the roll flavorful. Then I dip it in my sesame oil and salt dip. I was just surprised Cassie didn't use a seasoning in her rice.
i usually take some rice vinegar and boil it with some sugar and salt until it's incorporated, then pour over the cooked rice, stir and let it cool.. that makes the rice stick really really well
Carlie Morgan Nice. I'll have to try that method too next time. I literally talked to the computer when Cassie put the rice directly on the nori. I was like "aren't you going to season the rice first!?" LOL!
Pro tip for cutting sushi into even rolls: you cut it in half, then line up the halves together and cut those in half (and so on). It seems silly but this is how sushi chefs do it to keep the cuts even.
I always wash my rice because I use a rice cooker that has a little steam hole and if I don't wash the rice first, starch escapes through the hole while it's cooking and gets ALL over my kitchen and just creates a huge mess. But you don't HAVE to wash rice, it's not going to make you sick or anything. Yay I love these cooking videos, Cassie!
You should never stir rice while it is cooking! Opening the pot while it is cooking lets out the steam which is what is actually cooking the rice! Also you should be boiling the water before adding the rice! Boil the water, then put in the rice, lower the heat to low-medium low (2 or 3 on most stoves) keep covered and cook for 15-20 (read the instructions on your rice people!) 🍚🍙🍘
The reason you're not supposed to remove the lid from or stir rice while cooking is because it makes it sticky, which is exactly why she SHOULD stir rice used for sushi.
Hey Cassie, love the videos! Viewers: I have a cat named Mio and he is forever jumping onto my counter tops! It's a cat thing! I of course keep him off them when I'm cooking but otherwise I don't try to stop it. I just keep disinfectant wipes EVERYWHERE and I use chopping mats to cut food on. I'm pretty ocd about cleaning even the litter area is abit excessively cleaned. I'm only telling you this because I don't think you should jump to conclusions about cats or their owners. Figiro (sp?✅) was obviously off the counter while she was cooking. Chastising her about the sanitation of her kitchen is not only presumptuous but a bit rude. Golden rule y'all! Bless others and be blessed!
omg, so much negativity...she would never allow her cat to be on a hot stove. ince she turned it on I am positive she put him on the floor. I think sushi is something that can be personalized. if your making it at home I don't think there is a right or wrong way. 💖
Yum! What a great lunch idea. :) Some notes: You wash rice to get the extra starch off. Then, you should generally avoid stirring the rice because it can make it have an unpleasant texture (gloppy or mushy). Usually when you make sushi, you season the rice with a combination of rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. You can find ratios for this online, or you can buy pre-mixed sushi rice seasoning. The bamboo mat is suppose to help you roll the sushi; Use the bamboo mat to help guide the roll, which lets you make a tighter roll. If you make this, and plan on saving some of the rolls, you might consider waiting to cut the rolls to avoid the avocado oxidizing.
all good notes thank you!! I don't season my rice because I actually like the more simple flavor of it unseasoned... you're more than welcome to do so though! And yes the mat was just there for me in case I needed it but I was able to roll things just fine without it, hence it went unused lol ^^;
When your rice is done cooking try stirring in special Sushi vinegar (you can get it at an Asian store) then when your rice is cooler do your normal thing The taste is fantastic, I make Vegi sushi all the time SO good
CateSimulate it seems to be now? At least in a thread of comments like this... earlier today I was still unable to respond to just a 'normal'/singular comment from you :(
I have made these for years! I just called them veggie rolls. I even made them for my daughter's 5th birthday. We did a Spirited Away theme and the kids loved it. Yuuuum.
Yum! Ohhhh and ginger!🤗 Veggie rolls are so delicious! I love bringing them to the office. Easy to graze on few times a day! Thanks for the video Cassie!
Hi Cassie! Love this🍙 I'm allergic to cucumbers so I sub out cucumber for mango. It sounds weird but it gives a nice freshness to the rice💚 have you tried sesame oil? It's amazing with sushi🙌🏽
The Planner Place omg mango rolls are so good. I used to think it was weird until I had one not knowing what it was and they even simulate the texture of fish if you can't have fish.
Jennifer Lopez I thought the same thing but after I ate it I was hooked!! The place by me makes one with avo, mango & cilantro. This is making me want some sushi😬
Looks tasty!! A lot of ppl are talking about Fig on the stove but she had literally just turned on the element and the water wasn't boiling or even hot. Give her some credit guys it's so frustrating when the comment section is full of people policing her every word and action. As for people criticizing the cat on the stove for unhygienic reasons, it's unavoidable with cats, anyone who thinks otherwise is just deluding themself.
I would recommend shredding the carrots and then frying them in a little oil like vegetable or sesame oil!! Brings out the taste!! You could also add cooked spinach!
I make this all the time now after watching you!! LOVE IT! So good. I just use the half sheets of nori (because that's all I could find) and the rolls are slightly smaller but still works great. Highly recommend this recipe!!
Have you ever tried adding rice vinegar to your rice for sushi? I found that it adds a whole new level of flavor and deliciousness, I can't eat my sushi without it! Also... curses! Now I need to go make sushi.
Thrift Thick I think most recipes call for 1 Tablespoon per uncooked cup but I usually do 2 Tablespoons because I don't notice a difference otherwise. I add a little bit to my sticky rice for non-sushi things (like terryaki salmon over rice) because I love the added flavor.
SuperBakaotaku I would totally recommend that, but substitute the rice vinegar with "sushi vinegar" which is rice vinegar with sugar and salt. Traditionally sushi is made using cold vinegared rice. It's literally not sushi without the vinegar :D
I make sushi almost the same way except I use a rice cooker and season the rice lightly with rice vinegar. Some other suggestions: saute mushrooms in moron wine. I also make a bomb sweet potato sushi: cut peeled sweet potato into strips and marinate in 1TBS oil, 1 TBS maple syrup, and 1 TBS sesame oil. Bake at 375 for 25 min. Hope you're having a great day!
hi Cassie, I'm a relatively new subscriber, my family is from Japan and i give this video 1,000,000 thumbs up! In Japan, we have a particular kind of rice we use which is called "Sushi 🍣 Rice" in English. But you can use any rice, even brown rice....if you add the rice vinegar, sugar, etc as you described in your post, even non-sticky rice will become sticky enough to make rolls and it will be less starchy. Kiyo tsukete, ne!
Love sushi! A tip for the bamboo mat: use it while rolling so you can get a firmer roll. Cellophane also is good at keeping it less messy. If you like vegan fish there is Crabless cakes from Gardein, just an suggestion. Love the video
lol yes I meant to use the mat to roll my rolls but I ended up not needing it ^^; thank you though!! And I didn't know Gardein made a not-fish-fish product... I'll have to check it out :D
Omg Fig grew up so fast! Cutest little helper. And this recipe is AWESOME! LOVE these types of videos! Well, I love all of yours lol. But, thank you for this!
lol yay!! I'm glad my fevered efforts are appreciated XD Unfortunately I still feel like a pile of poo but hopefully I can kick whatever bug I've got soon
Thank you Cassie! I've always wanted to learn how to make sushi. You have a wonderful way of explaining things, and showing the process in easy to follow steps. I appreciate it. Looks yummy! ✔💖🌻 Hope you and your sweet fur babies have a wonderful weekend. ☺💫💖 xoDebra
Sushi rice should be seasoned with sugar, vinegar etc... Just search it up. That way it gets its classic taste and texture. Why are you not adding the seasoning? I would find this very bland.
Great idea! It's probably a LOT less expensive to make it yourself than to buy it in the grocery store. it's really expensive around here. Do you ever add anything to your rice?
Gotta add this to my recipes for travel-friendly lunches for university! Except I'll be bad and have to put some fish or crab in there too .. 😉 please please please make more food/recipe videos girl!!! I loved this!
That looks really good! Perhaps you did it but didn't mention it, but make sure to wash your cucumbers and avocado with soap and water prior to cutting them up to get off any insecticides or other yucky things. (Yes, chemicals soak into the veggie, but most stays on the outside.) Even if they're organic, they could be treated with "certified organic spray." So when people cut into their veggie, the knife transfers any bacteria from the outside to the inside, which can make people sick. In sushi it matters, due to it being eaten raw. (This is why I don't get lemon at restaurants.)
I don't wash my rice either. I believe people do not understand how most rice is processed, at least here in the US. Rice is already pre washed and then enriched with vitamins. The only reason one may need to rinse it is if they want to remove some of the starch so that it is not sticky and the grains separate more easily. It is simply preference.
Im not sure about american rice(?) but if you use korean or japanese brands that are not organic i learned from my mom that its unhygienic. But the choice to wash the rice is totally up to you! 💛💛 great video by the way!!
Now I NEED sushi. I do mine the same way except instead of carrots I use asparagus. I much prefer fresh ginger, and lots of wasabi! I like it to bite back.
"Tell me if I'm killing myself slowly" hahahaha my thoughts exactly whenever I'm tempted to not wash rice. When I do though I see a lot o murky water so there must be something on it! Thank you for this wonderful recipe! 👌🌿🙌💛
try out kimbap-kind of seeweed sushi in korean way! my mom make the world's greatest vegan kimbap(I mean, she's not vegan but only the kimbap she only uses veges) the pickled raddish and eatable fern is the key of the taste!
i love my animals, but i would never let them on the counter/stove while i'm cooking. not only is it a safety hazard for the animal, but it's also pretty gross.
I loved this video! I cant eat rice but looked up some alternatives . I think I am so gonna try this! Cassie I just love your videos and after reading comments wanna just choke people... ughhhhh virtual hugs!
Great video Cassie. People are dumb. If I'm making food for myself my hygienic practices are nobody else's concern. Why people feel the need to comment negatively is beyond me.
Not washing your rice isn't a huge problem. All it does is wash the extra yeast off the rice. So it isn't going to slowly kill you haha! You're my favorite TH-camr ever btw! Love you!! ❤️❤️
1979carmens that would be called a dietary vegan, I think. The other thing with cruelty free products and all that is ethical vegan? At least I've heard it that way.
1979carmens She doesn't follow a vegan life style. She still consumes animal products when it suits her. Plant-based means you eat mostly plant-based foods. She could go completely vegan. It's really not that hard.
all the comments are about fig on the stove but i didnt even notice him omg. anyways, great video cassie! sushi is one of my favourite foods but ive always been a bit unsure of how to properly make it! thank u for another helpful video, i really appreciate you & all your hard work!
Looks yummy! We eat a lot of stir fry, and I bought a rice marker. found one at Walmart for 15 bucks. might make your process a little easier if you're interested.
I have made a decision to live a healthier lifestyle and that means my diet has to change. So u posted this at a perfect time. I have been binge watching these types of videos as well as fitness and such. Going to start meal planning and prepping meals in advance. Cooking one day a week. Is that what you do?? I cannot wait 2 try this recipe. Would love more videos like this from u!!!
You wash the rice because it gets rid of the grime on them and washes off most of the starch which makes your rice really mushy and I don't mean the good mushy
Really trying to wrap my mind around all the negativity on a sushi video. Fig was a kitten in this video and they're always into everything! Didn't think twice about the cat being on the stove- my two are always being shooed away from where they're not supooosed to be. I always love your plant based recipes- keep doing them please!! P.s. you make it look WAY too easy to roll!!

washing rice helps get off the extra surger and starch they add to rice
It also flushes out the vitamin coat they spray on it too. Since my diet is FAR from perfect, I prefer to not wash the rice so far.
rice is dirty..but non asians tend to not wash rice or eat calrose rice...its bullshit that it is flushing away vitamins..it is flshing away the dirt and grime
No its not bullshit. Most white rice is fortified. The vitamin complex is on the surface mostly. even on the bag is says not to wash it (on mine).
"Real" rice is very dirty and has rice weevil eggs in it (they are bugs) look it up. You should definitely rinse rice. Now if you're buying minute rice or other processed rice that is a different story. Not to put down non asians but trust an asian person's advice when it comes to rice we know what we are talking about because it is knowledge passed on through generations. Wash your rice -_-
I'm hispanic and everyone I know recommends and washes their rice.... it's not asian-exclusive special snowflakes lol
Looks good but how do you keep the avocado from turning brown if you kept the rolls around for a week?
Do you ever season your rice? I love dipping my Korean "sushi" rolls called kimpap in sesame seed oil with salt. Sooo delicious!
Great idea!! I'm so excited to try this out!
kimmie drummer mix a little bit of rice vinegar with salt and sugar to season the rice.. I add sesame oil after the rice cools
Carlie Morgan I add the vinegar and to my rice after cooled a bit. Then make my roll. I wipe my knife on a paper towel when it gets gunky with vinegar on it so it keeps the roll flavorful. Then I dip it in my sesame oil and salt dip. I was just surprised Cassie didn't use a seasoning in her rice.

Google how to make sushi rice... it makes a big difference
but it does make a difference rinsing the rice

i hope she uploads a video of nothing but stirring rice for people like you
The reason you're not supposed to remove the lid from or stir rice while cooking is because it makes it sticky, which is exactly why she SHOULD stir rice used for sushi.
Hey Cassie, love the videos!

Super helpful vid Cassie I love sushi but never wanted to make it, because I just assumed it was hard to make. But you made it look so easy.
Arent you supposted to cover 3/4 of the nori so its a nice round roll ?
omg, so much negativity...she would never allow her cat to be on a hot stove. ince she turned it on I am positive she put him on the floor. I think sushi is something that can be personalized. if your making it at home I don't think there is a right or wrong way. 💖

Except you could see the water in the pot boiling with the cat standing next to it...
Yum! What a great lunch idea. :)

No worries! Just some tips for anyone who might end up making this themselves. I love the seasoned sushi rice-- yum!
When your rice is done cooking try stirring in special Sushi vinegar (you can get it at an Asian store) then when your rice is cooler do your normal thing The taste is fantastic, I make Vegi sushi all the time SO good
I would love more Cooking with Cassie! Could it be a regular segment? First impression recipes would be fun too lol.
You are a good cat mom & always have been. You were obviously supervising Fig. Would love to try this sushi!
i'm not a sushi/rice fan, but BABY FIG OH MY HEART 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
lol I know, right??? I nearly died when I started editing this yesterday ;_;
lol thanks I'm trying not to keel over ;P
CateSimulate it seems to be now? At least in a thread of comments like this... earlier today I was still unable to respond to just a 'normal'/singular comment from you :(
Love that zip top bag hack!😀
I have made these for years! I just called them veggie rolls. I even made them for my daughter's 5th birthday. We did a Spirited Away theme and the kids loved it. Yuuuum.
Yum! Ohhhh and ginger!🤗 Veggie rolls are so delicious! I love bringing them to the office. Easy to graze on few times a day! Thanks for the video Cassie!
Hi Cassie! Love this🍙 I'm allergic to cucumbers so I sub out cucumber for mango. It sounds weird but it gives a nice freshness to the rice💚 have you tried sesame oil? It's amazing with sushi🙌🏽
The Planner Place omg mango rolls are so good. I used to think it was weird until I had one not knowing what it was and they even simulate the texture of fish if you can't have fish.
Ooo do you do mango with avocado? That sounds heavenly!
KnowledgeNerd that's how I had it when I first tried it it's AMAZING
Jennifer Lopez I thought the same thing but after I ate it I was hooked!! The place by me makes one with avo, mango & cilantro. This is making me want some sushi😬
That sounds like it would be awesome! I gotta try it once I can get my hands on mangos again n_n
Looks tasty!! A lot of ppl are talking about Fig on the stove but she had literally just turned on the element and the water wasn't boiling or even hot. Give her some credit guys it's so frustrating when the comment section is full of people policing her every word and action. As for people criticizing the cat on the stove for unhygienic reasons, it's unavoidable with cats, anyone who thinks otherwise is just deluding themself.
I would recommend shredding the carrots and then frying them in a little oil like vegetable or sesame oil!! Brings out the taste!! You could also add cooked spinach!
Soon as I saw Fig on the stove I checked the comments to see how many idiots got confused and thought it was their life. Lmao. Wow.
I love when Cassie cooks ❤️
I love sushi. But when I get sushi I order them with soy paper you should try it. It's delicious !
jennifer lee what the heck is soy paper? :o off to google
How do you avoid the avocado from going brown since you make so much.
I make this all the time now after watching you!! LOVE IT! So good. I just use the half sheets of nori (because that's all I could find) and the rolls are slightly smaller but still works great. Highly recommend this recipe!!
Have you ever tried adding rice vinegar to your rice for sushi? I found that it adds a whole new level of flavor and deliciousness, I can't eat my sushi without it!
Also... curses! Now I need to go make sushi.
no I haven't!! How much do you add in? I'll have to try that :D
Thrift Thick I think most recipes call for 1 Tablespoon per uncooked cup but I usually do 2 Tablespoons because I don't notice a difference otherwise. I add a little bit to my sticky rice for non-sushi things (like terryaki salmon over rice) because I love the added flavor.

I really miss these videos. I just love watching people cook and learning from it 💖✨
aaaa my family did vegetarian/pescatarian stuff when i was little and my mom used to make veggie sushi for us all the time! thanks for the nostalgia
Did show how to use the mat. Was it at all important to have?
Do you add mirin to the rice? Or do you just have it plain? Looks delicious!
It's japanese sweet Rice vinegar!
NEVER stir rice! Stirring activates starch and will make rice gloppy. If you're going for gloppy then by all means, stir your rice.
hmmmm mine has never turned out gloppy though? It's always nice and fluffy :)
looked very gloopy in your pot, and when you were smearing it on the nori....
It seems like it would stick to the bottom of the pan if you don't stir it though..
Maura Leusder it's STICKY rice.
i hope when she makes more dishes with rice, she stirs it a few times just for you tbh
This was fun! My husband sometimes makes me sushi for my lunches if I beg him! Now maybe I can make it myself! Good job Cassie they look amazing!
I make sushi almost the same way except I use a rice cooker and season the rice lightly with rice vinegar. Some other suggestions: saute mushrooms in moron wine. I also make a bomb sweet potato sushi: cut peeled sweet potato into strips and marinate in 1TBS oil, 1 TBS maple syrup, and 1 TBS sesame oil. Bake at 375 for 25 min. Hope you're having a great day!

lol yay!! I'm glad my fevered efforts are appreciated XD Unfortunately I still feel like a pile of poo but hopefully I can kick whatever bug I've got soon
Yay, I loooove Cassie's cooking videos. Please Cassie never stop making these great video's. Luv u girl. God bless you, Cassie.
thank you so much Donna
Thank you Cassie! I've always wanted to learn how to make sushi. You have a wonderful way of explaining things, and showing the process in easy to follow steps. I appreciate it. Looks yummy! ✔💖🌻 Hope you and your sweet fur babies have a wonderful weekend. ☺💫💖 xoDebra
The mat thing is supposed to help make the rolling part nice and make the rolls more tight, right?
yup!! I ended up not needing it but figured it was still good to mention for others in case they need it and were unaware :)
This looks so freaking good! I'm very new to sushi, so I want to try some basic recipes to get started. Thanks for sharing!!
Looks so yummy 🍴😋 I'm gonna have to try this myself 😊
yay!! I hope you enjoy it!
Thrift Thick Omg I love your videos so much! I have to watch you like every day lol. Thank you so much for replying to my comment ❤😊
Emma Charles you're so welcome and thank YOU!! you're such a sweetheart ^_^
I always thought sushi was really hard to make but it turns out its super easy. I think I'll be making this soon! thank you so much for the help!❤
Sushi rice should be seasoned with sugar, vinegar etc... Just search it up. That way it gets its classic taste and texture. Why are you not adding the seasoning? I would find this very bland.
Maura Leusder true Sushi is literally dishes prepared with vinegared rice :D
I don't know what it is about your food videos but they are so satisfying to watch. please make more.
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy them!!
Cassie! I LOVE sushi! These look awesome. I usually go way overboard on the avocados! You're awesome.
love that you're living a plant-based lifestyle!! you go girl!! your videos always make my day😉😉
I think I might try this later! I might do green peppers instead of avocado cause I'm not sure if I like avocado.
These look good. I would have a soup with it like a hot and sour soup or miso. Cassie, do you do a spring roll with rice paper instead of nori.
Great idea! It's probably a LOT less expensive to make it yourself than to buy it in the grocery store. it's really expensive around here. Do you ever add anything to your rice?
Gotta add this to my recipes for travel-friendly lunches for university! Except I'll be bad and have to put some fish or crab in there too .. 😉 please please please make more food/recipe videos girl!!! I loved this!
no rice vinegar in the rice? :(
It adds so much flavor to it :)
Hey Cassie! you should try adding a bit of vinegar to your rice and/or your avocado! it makes it taste even more authentic and yummy!
Oops! I wrote this before reading your comment haha. Gotcha!
lol no worries and thank you for the tip anyways!! ^_^
That looks really good! Perhaps you did it but didn't mention it, but make sure to wash your cucumbers and avocado with soap and water prior to cutting them up to get off any insecticides or other yucky things. (Yes, chemicals soak into the veggie, but most stays on the outside.) Even if they're organic, they could be treated with "certified organic spray." So when people cut into their veggie, the knife transfers any bacteria from the outside to the inside, which can make people sick. In sushi it matters, due to it being eaten raw. (This is why I don't get lemon at restaurants.)
Thank you for sharing, those Avos had me wistful for the season to change!
How do you keep the avocado from getting brown?? Doesn't it get brown in the fridge when you leave it even overnight? Or maybe I'm doing it wrong lmao
I actually just bought a pack of these for almost $10! I'll be making them now. 😍😍😍
Do any of you not read the comments before making the same comment someone else made? Hive mentality, I swear.
I don't wash my rice either. I believe people do not understand how most rice is processed, at least here in the US. Rice is already pre washed and then enriched with vitamins. The only reason one may need to rinse it is if they want to remove some of the starch so that it is not sticky and the grains separate more easily. It is simply preference.
Great job, Cassie! I always thought making sushi was varsity-level stuff, but this looks like something a noob like me could actually pull off!
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just wondering, why do you have the bamboo mat if you don't use it to roll your up and make the sushi tightly packed?
sometimes I do use it but I ended up not needing it this time around :D
Im not sure about american rice(?) but if you use korean or japanese brands that are not organic i learned from my mom that its unhygienic. But the choice to wash the rice is totally up to you! 💛💛 great video by the way!!
My heart sank seeing your cat on your stove. He's long hair... long hair, burners... no. NOOOOOOOO
my stove is electric though, there's no way for him to catch on fire ^^;
Thrift Thick Electricity causes fire. There is such a thing as an electric fire...
Yay! I just made some rolls :) mine turned out a lot more messy, but still yummy! Thank you for the video, Cassie!
Those avocados were perfect. 😍
Now I NEED sushi. I do mine the same way except instead of carrots I use asparagus. I much prefer fresh ginger, and lots of wasabi! I like it to bite back.
what rice brand did you use? :)
"Tell me if I'm killing myself slowly" hahahaha my thoughts exactly whenever I'm tempted to not wash rice. When I do though I see a lot o murky water so there must be something on it! Thank you for this wonderful recipe! 👌🌿🙌💛
love your videos that aren't just reviews!!!! have a blessed day
try out kimbap-kind of seeweed sushi in korean way! my mom make the world's greatest vegan kimbap(I mean, she's not vegan but only the kimbap she only uses veges) the pickled raddish and eatable fern is the key of the taste!
I'm definitely doing vegan sushi next week! Looks sooooo good!!
I've always wanted to make sushi! Thought it seemed impossible. Thank you for the video! It's not as complicated as I thought :)
you uploading this while im fasting this is killing me :( it looks sooo goodddd!
Erykah Dreme For what occasion are you fasting? Just curious :)
Wow !!! 😻 that's amazing Cassie thanks for sharing ! I for sure will try to make it soon 😊Also hope you feel better and get some rest 🙏🏻❤️
Looks so good!!! Can't wait to try it out💜 keep it up girly 💜
thank you so much and I Hope yours turn out super yummy!!
what is "sticky rice"? I've never seen it before in a store, but wasn't looking either ; )
You might've seen it labelled as sushi rice instead :)
would you say the carrot flavor overpowers the rest of the ingredients? cause i know raw carrots have a pretty strong taste. at least imo
i love my animals, but i would never let them on the counter/stove while i'm cooking. not only is it a safety hazard for the animal, but it's also pretty gross.
This looks easier than I always pictured it would be. Definitely going to give it a try🍣🍤🍽
I was just looking for a recipe for this wow thanks girlie!
YAY, I love veggie sushi. I can't wait to give this a try!
Hello random person!
Have a good day~
Sheys_Cosplay you too ❤
Those look yummy 😍 great job Cassie
thanks so much!!
Comin back to your channel after a while! Thanks for this lovely video! Now I am not intimidated by sushi! Going to try this out!! Thanks a bunch!
I loved this video! I cant eat rice but looked up some alternatives . I think I am so gonna try this! Cassie I just love your videos and after reading comments wanna just choke people... ughhhhh virtual hugs!
Great video Cassie. People are dumb. If I'm making food for myself my hygienic practices are nobody else's concern. Why people feel the need to comment negatively is beyond me.
Not washing your rice isn't a huge problem. All it does is wash the extra yeast off the rice. So it isn't going to slowly kill you haha! You're my favorite TH-camr ever btw! Love you!! ❤️❤️
You're trying to help the animals by being vegan and everyone complains about burning your cat 😂
Aaron Cajti She's not even a vegan.
1979carmens that would be called a dietary vegan, I think. The other thing with cruelty free products and all that is ethical vegan? At least I've heard it that way.
1979carmens She doesn't follow a vegan life style. She still consumes animal products when it suits her. Plant-based means you eat mostly plant-based foods. She could go completely vegan. It's really not that hard.
Mary Snowdon Veganism is all about ethics. Veganism is a lifestyle and you don't use animals. For food or animal testing, or any form of exploitation.
Aaron Cajti Unfortunately because people have nothing better to do than bitch. 😂
You made it look so easy! Now shall I actually attempt this??
all the comments are about fig on the stove but i didnt even notice him omg. anyways, great video cassie! sushi is one of my favourite foods but ive always been a bit unsure of how to properly make it! thank u for another helpful video, i really appreciate you & all your hard work!
you're so welcome and thank YOU so much for the love and support!!
Looks yummy! We eat a lot of stir fry, and I bought a rice marker. found one at Walmart for 15 bucks. might make your process a little easier if you're interested.
These look soooo good!!!!
thank you, they really are!!
I have made a decision to live a healthier lifestyle and that means my diet has to change. So u posted this at a perfect time. I have been binge watching these types of videos as well as fitness and such. Going to start meal planning and prepping meals in advance. Cooking one day a week. Is that what you do?? I cannot wait 2 try this recipe. Would love more videos like this from u!!!
You wash the rice because it gets rid of the grime on them and washes off most of the starch which makes your rice really mushy and I don't mean the good mushy
The comments on this video are ridiculous lol 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I really enjoyed it. Thanks for showing how easy making sushi can be Miss Cassie ❤️
Really trying to wrap my mind around all the negativity on a sushi video. Fig was a kitten in this video and they're always into everything! Didn't think twice about the cat being on the stove- my two are always being shooed away from where they're not supooosed to be. I always love your plant based recipes- keep doing them please!! P.s. you make it look WAY too easy to roll!!
lol thank you so much ^_^
