STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2018 Act 02 Round 06: Vegan Sushi
Vegan Sushi
Sushi
Refers to food that uses rice seasoned with vinegar. It is then rolled in seaweed layers with seafood, fish, vegetables, etc.
For this recipe I exchanged seaweed for chard! I don't eat seaweed due to the amount of micro plastics, radiation and mercury found in the oceans nowadays. The fish industry is highly processed and messed up unfortunately, and most of the documentaries about the seaweed industry are banned! It is not local to me either so for all these reasons I ditched from consuming seaweed.
If you are interested in digging into it, I will leave a batch of links below:
