Craving takeout? Me too!
Specifically in the form of a vegetable roll from my favorite sushi stop.
BUT, these Hearts of Palm Sushi Bowls have become a quick and easy weeknight takeout fake out meal. They are beds of fluffy brown rice with scoops of BOTH California Roll and Spicy Tuna fillings that are so close to fish it't uncanny. With buttery avocado, crunchy carrots and cucumbers, and just the right amount of cilantro.
It is the best ever vegan sushi bowl. And it satisfies that sushi craving like nobody's business.
Reasons to love this Vegan Sushi Bowl Recipe!

- Packs in tons of veggies. I mean, the sushi IS veggies!
- Can be whipped up in 10 minutes.

How do you make vegan California roll filling?
Take your hearts of palm, the perfect salty and bring, crab-textured sushi replacement. Drain them and give them a chop until it resembles lump crab meat. Add in some Old Bay which is KEY to achieving a seafood-like flavor and mayo. Stir until it is mixed and creamy. California roll filling, done!
How do you make vegan spicy tuna?
The vegan spicy tuna is made exactly like the California roll, only you'll add in a tablespoon of sriracha and a touch of sesame oil! This much sriracha gives it a nice pink color and medium kick. Feel free to adjust the spice to suit your tastes!
What ingredients are in a vegan sushi bowl?
In addition to the spicy tuna and California fillings, we served our bowls with...
- Brown rice - white rice works great too!

This is vegetarian, not vegan. Vegans wouldn't use mayo as it is made with eggs.
Hi Erin, Yes, and as a vegan you will likely know about all the delicious vegan mayo options out there :)
Every good vegan knows about vegan mayo. She should not have to type vegan mayo for you to know to buy vegan mayo.
Veganaise is a great substitute!
This was amazing! Was skeptical but made for lunch today and it satisfied everything I’ve been missing in poke since going veg. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for the review, Dawn! So happy to hear you are enjoying the recipe :)
I made this tonight and both my husband and I were very impressed. We love poke and this was a delicious, easy, vegan spin ... possibly better than the real thing? My husband couldn't stop raving about it. This will be a staple in our home. Thank you!

Thank you for your review, Melissa! So very glad to hear that you are both enjoying the recipe!
I wood suggest adding seaweed strips/crumbles to the the "california roll" & the "tuna" for a fishier taste.
Hi Nish, great suggestion!
Lol read the recipe wrong and put chopped canned artichoke hearts in instead of palm of hearts 😬 it was still good though if anyone was wondering
