One of my most requested dishes, especially by my family who live in France, is my homemade mango ginger sushi!
It’s light, healthy, vegan, and packed with such an amazing flavour and texture combination it’s pretty hard not to love!
This recipe serves around 4 people so I usually like to plan a big dinner around it and invite over some friends.
It takes a bit of prep time cutting all of the vegetables so finely, cooking the sushi rice just right, then rolling up the sushi nice and tight, but people love to watch so you might as well make a night of it!
To tide your guests over before they dig into some freshly made rolls, I recommend you serve miso soup, fresh salad rolls, and my personal favourite, lychee saketinis!
There is usually left over diced up ingredients which I leave out for people to build their own little salads or pick up. It also works great in salads the next day!
They also make beautifully packed lunches! As much as the rolls are always better fresh, if there is any leftover – not likely – you can pack it up with a soy sauce for a fancy lunch the next day!
Now what are you waiting for?! Invite some friends over and start rolling!

Love sushi!!! This looks amazing!!
Yum! How many cups of uncooked rice do you need for this?
Hey Ayah- I always follow the directions on the rice bag for 4 servings, but I would say two cups to be safe!
Thanks lady! I always buy in bulk and then I never know what I am doing.
