Hippy Gourmet makes Veggie Sushi!

[tuina1]

what did you put 2 tablespoons of in the sushi rice?

[ricericebabyx]

I LOVE THIS GUY LOL

WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO DISCOVER YOU?

:)

I LOVE sushi, and I'm a vegetarian... My love for the Asian cuisine is so limited sometimes D': Thanks for making this! ♥

I need to find the nearest T&T. LOL

[pawsinface]

paying 5 bucks at grocery store for veggies rolls. Glad to see I can save money and do it st home and for 5 bucks a lot more rolls to eat. I'm vegan and vegetarian if in unsupported places. Have u tried vids on using tofu or tempeh, etc? Will see website. BTW you no hippy by lush home...lol ;) !

[PikachuVision]

I miss Hippy Gourmet! Love it :DD

[stevenplim]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was hecka fun trying it out myself. Never thought of putting pea shoots in my sushi but I love it.

[Chickenbollocks13]

Avocado is the food of the gods.

[shady929]

"We'll be rolling..." YES. "Our own..." YESSSSS "Vegan sushi rolls." What? Still awesome I suppose.

[Psychedalien]

Very psychedelic intro!!!!!!

I am going to make veggie sushi in a few weeks with friends!

[tukspeacepipes]

I have a friend who is crazy about sushi:I like the simple way you show how to make the "roll":but I reckon that takes some practice.I couldn't agree with you more about garlic:a staple essential!!

Beautiful presentation too:makes so much difference.Thanks for this great vid.

[ddshears]

I have started using short grain brown rice for my rolls...works really well. Also, sometimes I make sushi-in-a-bowl and just put all the rice and sliced veggies on the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scissor clipped confetti of nori sheets. ginger and wasabi and tamari for seasoning. Lazy hippie sushi. :oD

I'm eating 80-90 percent raw now so the vegan sushi is a real treat. I'll have to try subing the hemp seeds for the sesame seeds. sounds good.

[BlackWolf4830]

How would you recommend storing garlic? I live with people who are very sensitive to the scent of it

[DHPPhDPhD]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thanks

[rbrine01]

Awesome video thanks.

[unclewiggly4176]

He sounds a little like Tommy Chong.

[jantheempress]

yumm

[IsisluvsAmunRa]

awesom video.

[RamboBunBun]

this looks amazing!!!

[rockhoof]

garlic? sushi? always thought they didnt go together.

[MrUndenied]

I'm learning about nutrition in the meat cutting class at culinary school and those sushi rolls are very well balanced with complete proteins and a variety of vitamins. They look yummy too.

[stollensecret]

dang that looks good. i got the munchies now

[TheMsUnknownuser]

what did you add to the rice after adding water, 2 spoons of..??

[iSeeIndianPeople]

@TheMsUnknownuser rice wine vinegar.

[SuperGorjess]

this is the first video of yours I have come across, I especially like the little bits of information you give about the equipment you use. Like the wooden rice bowl and the noiri sheets, it's good to understand more about what you are using than just how you use it.

[teyacapan]

Why use bada bine? and what side of the nori ?

[urbanequinox]

@amafloro - you need a short grain rice, as it is a bit starchier (and therefore stickier) and will not fall apart the way medium or long grain does.

[amafloro]

I have a question: What kind of rice should I use (med, long grain)?  And how much rice should I use for one roll?

I also wanted to know how I could be a vegan? I have had many attempts but seem to fail bcuz I love white meat and it so hard especially when everyone in my family eats meat!

[hippygourmet]

It's probably a quarter cup of rice for a roll.

As for becoming vegan, you can start with baby steps. For example, avoid eating meat one day a week, and then gradually increase the number of days per week. Also, going to vegetarian diet as opposed to vegan could be a great intermediate step. Most importantly, don't blame yourself for failing to become vegan overnight. Just know that you are in the right path, and that it requires knowledge and discipline to get there, which takes time. :)

[Zarathustra06]

@hippygourmet Dude, you're pretty much my hero. Spread the word!

[Qbo78]

@amafloro hey sup, I dont know if you alrready have an answer to your post cus its a little bit old, but use short grain rice or as americans call Cal-Rose Rice. The measure for the rice in each roll, Im not very sure but grab just half of the rice that your hand can keep, maybe 1/2cup or a little bit more.

[PandaIsMine]

@amafloro u use med rice and you need about a baseball size rice ball it up with you're hands and after making it into a baseball size rice add alittle more into it and Spread it on your Sheet of seaweed paper

[ZuLLyLaNd]

Yummy!!!

[picatsoforfma]

I couldn't do that. My hands are always cut and scraped up so nobody wants me to touch their food with my bear hands.

[paix221]

This did nothing by intensify my hunger. So delicious....

[rawmark]

i'm subscribing because your videos are fun to watch but I'm a raw foodist vegan so you have nothing I can eat. Thanks for the invite!

[kammoline]

This looks amazing! You guys videos are the best!

[nutier]

awesome video ! I like it so much . Thank you for sharing .

nutier

[louice]

that looks good

[rrrina]

Awesome! Love it!

[intotheblue222]

Mmm yummy, now I can finally eat sushi!

[MzRhiannon69]

yummy^_^

[Harp69]

horse raddish

[leeea7x]

the green stuff is delicious

[metoolawson]

i just ate the same thiung excep storebought.

[happycrone1]

so yummy. this guy knows his stuff - I never realized how many people do NOT rinse their rice. This recipe is easy too

[strawberryriddick]

THANK YOU for talking about rinsing rice! I grew up eating a lot of rice because of my ethnic background, and it just amazes me that as few people know how to make rice, even fewer know you need to wash it!!

I have eaten plenty of sushi but never have seen anything like this. Looks like something to try!

[TheoRetisch]

Well, everbody has its own way to make Sushi - but this is not the traditional way.

[GaurdDuck]

Yeah, that would involve raw fish. My Granma's favorite is my: eel, crab, caviar, black sesame, tuna, avocado, and cucumber futomaki. Usually served with my red miso soup and o-cha.

[jamira120]

nice job !

it is correct way of making

[KaoriNight]

That looks really good! Now I want some D:

[Existantia]

This looks SOOOOO good! Thanks for making more options. I'm allergic to seafood so I'm grateful for the vid!

[1955herb1955]

Vegetarians eat my food's food.

[hippygourmet]

It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh.

Meat means misery for the world's hungry.

[therealpancho]

Alright! You know your stuff!

your my favorite cook now :)

[savgal1211]

@hippygourmet Exactly!!

[hippyguitarist94]

good stuff..very easy too

[Nuru305]

This looks soo,good I love sushi, thanks for this.

[MaryHealth]

I have to try this!

[jealousjessie]

This is me being jealous.

I just had my first failed attempt at sushi haha.

I definitely should have watched a video first. :]

[Thorralf83]

James "Ehrlich" ?

Hey nice name :-)

I am a german. The translation of your name is "aboveboard", "candid" and "fair".

I have never seen so many ingredients in one maki sushi, but it looks appetisingly.

[nccrazyboy]

thats a nice house for a hippie

and sushi refers to being wrapped in rice, but this a good recipe.

[yeastori]

thats what I thought too

[strawberryriddick]

Actually, sushi just means "vinegared rice."

[spider555spider555]

Is this sushi?

This is American food not sushi

The Japanese does not eat such sushi

[madeleine185]

actually... veggie sushi is eaten in japan too.

[Meggiekb]

what? what? in the bootie

[TiffBeast]

Toss some steak in there.

[trustbaby7]

Fake steak would be good.

[kiq911]

Those where MAGIC mUSHroOmS!! haha Trippy ShiT!! LMFAO!

[Glittervel]

I love his kitchen!

[caojane1]

i just realized that most of these recipes rely on exotic ingredients, not local,

i would rather buy a local non organic tomatoes instead of an organic onion shipped from across the continent

[Cambria2007]

you tree huggin queers do make some tasty lookin food

[aliamerican1]

very nice n easy great

[SimranSgh]

Thanks! This looks gr8! I can't wait to try this out!

[xthesexxx]

ok, that's it--i'm subscribing!

[dirtydodger]

two questions. at the begining you added the water to the rice and then added two tablespoons of something you didn't identify. what was it? also, this looks expensive. is it?

[SirAnoness]

Most likely rice wine.

[ihatehackers3]

this isn't sushi. it's kimbap.

[SirAnoness]

Kimbap was adapted from Maki-zushi, which is sushi using nori as an exterior, rather than rice.

[yamabukiknight]

hippies r cool

[BeatifulBlackBarbie]

it looks great

i miss the fish to much

[sfiorentino]

lol awe you deleted my comment. you know im right. a hippy talking about how great hemp is? thats hilarious.

[SirAnoness]

Hemp, while the name for the genus of Cannabis, is often incorrectly assumed to be only the drug.

Hemp is a very versatile plant. being used in both food and commercial textiles. In food, hemp-seed oil is often used in many pre-packaged food for its cheap price and it's highly-nutritious value. It contains more amino acids than products such as meat and eggs, and also has a lot of protein.

It is not only a psychoactive drug, but a valuable food.

Ignorance is no excuse for bad manners. ;)

[strawberryriddick]

As a vegan into bodybuilding, I highly approve of this comment :)

[jvj420]

Animals are my friends & i dont eat my friends..No meat!

[Fatmanorozco209]

WHERE IS THE MEAT!!!!!

[SirAnoness]

Isn't the term, "where's the beef?"

I could've sworn beef would be in a video titled, "Veggie Sushi."

[moonbaby38]

MMMMm im hooked on veggie sushi, just made some YUMM

[GammaFoxTBG]

Wow. Despite the fact that I'm not a big vegetable fan, that looks delicious! I might try making that one day.

[TAMERE888]

bad technics to roll

[polkadotedfish]

yeah its "hippy food" not authentic japanese strictly rolled samurai sushit :P

[LeRenardCharmant]

This is great! Thanks. Pretty awesome hippie guy

[kkhihi]

thanks. This helps alot

[sillyass777]

I'm a meat eater, but my aunt is a vegetarian, I have ate a vegan sushi roll before, and liked it alot. The only vegan thing I would never recommend is wheat grass juice (YUCK).. but I would like to try this recipe out if I can find the ingredients.. I may have to do some substituting though..

[teresaprevo]

Thank you Hippy Gourmet! I made veggie sushi last night. It was awesome. Never missed the fish. :) Thanks!

[teresaprevo]

Thank you Hippy Gourmet! I made veggie sushi last night. It was awesome. Never missed the fish. :) Thanks!

[j230i]

too much spices

[KingLegolasG]

he puts the spices on there so there is something to TASTE. since there is nothing in there other than avocado and the garlic pieces. though i have never encountered garlic in my sushi.

[crouchend246]

this dudes wicked man!

if u agree give me some thumbs up! :)

[straversin]

hippy gourmet, i wanna be just like you!!!

lol

sam from italy

[CoraxTheCold]

the whole point of sushi is the raw fish and the taste of the fish, rolls arent even that good its all about nigiri

[afringedweller]

The whole point for non-flesh eaters, even ones who once loved the taste of meat, is that the pleasure in a meal is heightened. When you know that another feeling being didn't live in misery and die in terror just for the sake of your tastebuds, the mind and spirit are allowed to join in the physical pleasure, and it's a more whole, integrated experience; no need to disconnect in order to enjoy.

Try some vegan sushi onetime. You'll love it, and your heart will love

you!

[narutoxhinata264]

i think veggie sushi is ohh i dunno just same thing as raw vegetables i mean if u just like the vegteables just eat a carrot i dunno only my opinion sushi s a whole lot better with raw fish

[clovermuse]

Obviously you have never tried vegan sushi. I'm almost sad for you. ;(

[Renttu7744]

well my little friend, I think jo aar aåt and rajding jår bajk as we say here in Gothenburg. The whole thing about sushi is about the rice. Then you can put anything you want on top of it.

[clovermuse]

"Sushi" means "vinegared rice". Not "fish". It's about the rice.

[LoricaLady]

Thanks!

[Lalo3001]

This guy's awesome! I like watching him and his wacked out recipes on the local PBS station. I think he'd be perfect on a late night show like Jimmy Kimmel's.

[persiancl]

hahha nice I'm gonna make this right now

[bensgotbucks]

I'm not a Vegan nor a vegetarian, but this veggie sushi looks awesome! I'm looking forward to making it soon at home.

[pittim]

ohh...its soo tasteful.(and also soo difficult to be prepared) I have tried to make some in the past.. I've never managed to roll the ingredients properly and come out in the centre.

[narutoxhinata264]

rolling probably hardest part

[pittim]

ohh...its soo tasteful.(and also soo difficult to be prepared) I have tried to make some in the past.. I've never managed to roll the ingredients properly and come out in the centre.

[safy8208]

sono un proffesionista nel fare il sushi ed quasi uguale però c'è un segretto che solo io lo so.:ppppppppppppp

[BuntaMarui]

wah , I love watching gourmet preparation

[joehogan212]

you should put some steak in it!

[brunawfreitas]

just don't toast the garlic... please.

[ZoSoCika]

looks good... I'l try it out!

[JustSurvivingLife]

thanks for sharing recipe. sounds really tasty

[mukee2]

ur great!! thanks a lot for this video, im beginner and this really helps

[trisharaez]

I love your vegan sushi video!! Thanks hippie gourmet!!

[wolfmeditation]

hey, trees are people too man.

[gabriellesunheart]

I love veggie sushi!

[mskerripa]

this is a great video

i never had sushi before but

im going to try it

so thanks!!

[stickysausage]

Just wouldn't be hippy, with out the hemp seed :-p

[carrots69]

hmm...

its 2 bad avacadoes r toxic 2 my parrot

or i would feed him this

[mattsten7287]

It seems like you use too many ingredients and spices. Isn't sushi supposed to be simple and have very subtle flavors? It does looks delicious though.

[marckles]

i'm hip on this. i was just doing a search on how to make sushi, since today will be my first time. i really like the sound of the combination of ingredients and the brief but great tips you pack in here. i think i'll try to replicate what you did here to the T (oops... there's no T in sushi... oh well).

[derryk1]

The Hippy Gourmet should have a full half hour show on the food network or PBS 7 or 8 minutes in not enough. Great show keep it up. I will like to make this sushi but I would like to add maybe a little Me-kajiki or the hard to get in the west hatsu-gatsuo.

[hippygourmet]

Thank you so much! We actually do have full 30 min shows on PBS and commercial TV, which these youtube short clips are segments from.

You can contact your local PBS station if they are not yet carrying us. And check out our new cookbook - "The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating"(Hachett USA), available wherever books are sold.

We appreciate your support!

[imfatbye]

You should try California Rolls if you haven't. A lot of California rolls are made with imitation crab meat, so no worries if you're a vegetarian.

[hippygourmet]

We actually met the inventor of California roll - chef Tojo in Vancouver BC. But if you want real veggie sushi, you need to avoid imitation crab meat - it's just all kinds of fish scraps put together, which is not a vegetarian option unless it is some kind of soy substitute.

[imfatbye]

..It's fish scraps! :O I've been eating it all this time, and I don't eat fish. That's a bummer, haha. Well today I made kimchi, egg, and cucumber roll. Try that, kimchi has anchovies in it though, or "fish sauce" from vietnamese cuisine.

[AyameSohma6]

Cool! I'll totally make that without the seaweed! (is that possible? .__.) Cause, I really don't like raw fish. v-v Or fish that much, either. =D

[hippygourmet]

Seaweed is not fish, it's a sea plant like a lettuce. It's packed with nutrients and vitamins, and it is very healthy for you. When you toast the seaweed a little bid in a dry pan, it makes it crunchy and delicious.

[AyameSohma6]

Hmm... I'll try that! ^-^v

[valentin65]

Let the pan rest for about 10 minute. If you have a gas stove switch it to minumum heat and switch it off after 5 minutes. Then let it rest another 5 minutes.

[valentin65]

Rice cooking: If you have no rice cooker use a (water cooking) pan not a fry pan. Cover the rice with water so that the water stands about 1 inch or a bit more above the rice. Let it cook until the water has completely evaporated (stir frequently). If you use a ceramic or electric stove turn off the power but let the pan on the heating field. Cover the pan tight with aluminium foil. You want to use gloves (heat).

[cspark809]

not bad for home sushi making. He kinda miss couple of things ,but thats okay.

[KOleH]

Good Stuff.

I want veggie sushi now.

[lazygirlxx]

By far the most important non-CO2 greenhouse gas is methane, and the number one source of methane worldwide is animal agriculture.

[thetylife]

Very Impressive and informative.Lots and lots of ingredients there ,hemp seed huh...guess you wouldnt be the Hippy Gourmet without it lol..And never seen rolls cut like that before..very nice.

[derryk1]

The hemp is for more appetite man like farout. Just roll some up in seaWEED and enjoy. Very strong go gentle on it.

[emocandy16]

ohh YUMMEHH!

thank goodness i saw this!

[TSchela]

thanks! pretty yummy!!!

[omgwtfimdead]

I looked at your video and at first I thought it was just going to be another asshole who didn't know anything. But you really seem to know your stuff and respect the Japanese culture. People like you rule and there should be more chefs like you. I'm not a vegetarian but with your ingredients it made my mouth water.

[Ekkobelli]

What rad sushi he makes!

I'm on a sushi-trip myself, but constantly fail at cooking the rice right..

Cool guy, fancy sushi, nice housing.

Any sushi-tips always appreciated! :-)

[SOIAx11x]

[mindmanifestation]
