  • RECIPE MAKES: 1 serve
  • PREP TIME: 10 min
  • COOK TIME: 2 min

Low protein lazy sushi is a fun and fuss-free twist on a classic favourite. Fresh and simple, packed with vegetables, fluffy rice and all the flavours of sushi, it's perfect for a quick lunch, dinner or meal prep option. No bamboo mat? No problem! Simply layer your ingredients in a bowl and enjoy all the flavours of sushi without the rolling.

step 1

Place rice in a small microwave safe dish, cover with water. Using a fork, ensure rice is evenly spread across the base of the dish. Microwave on high, 3min. Stir briefly, microwave on high, further 1min. Let the rice cool.

step 2

Whilst the rice is cooling, prepare your ingredients.

step 3

Drain and shred the jackfruit. Remove extra moisture by dapping with a paper towel.

step 4

Cut the avocado in half and scoop 1 half out using a tbsp., maintaining its shape. Slice the avocado into thin slices.

step 5

Using scissors, cut the nori seaweed into the shape and size of the bowl you’re using (recommend a small – medium glass square bowl).

step 6

Once cool, combine the rice with the plant based cream cheese and mix until it’s formed a sticky consistency.

step 7

Line the glass bowl with clingfilm and add the ingredients in the following order, firmly pressing them down: avocado, jackfruit, salt to taste, rice mixed with cream cheese and nori seaweed.

step 8

Once firmly pressed, remove the mixture from the container, flip onto a serving dish, remove the cling film, cut into squares and serve.
