How to Prepare Raw Sushi Rolls With Sunflower Seed ‘Rice’ [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Soak the sunflower seeds for 2 hours or more (overnight if possible).
Drain and rinse the sunflower seeds, add it to food processor with the vinegar, tamari, salt, and pepper. Blend well and add a little water to bring the mixture to a fairly smooth paste (see picture for the texture).
Place your nori sheets onto sushi roll mats, then press half the mixture down evenly onto each sheet, leaving about a 2-inch gap at one end.
Add strips of vegetables evenly along the center of the nori sheet (don't overload them or they will be difficult to roll up).
Use the mat to slowly roll up the sushi.
Use a long sharp knife to cut the rolls into five or six pieces and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy with extra tamari and wasabi.
