A Note from Feedfeed
These Vegan Sushi Balls are a twist on traditional sushi rolls, combining the flavors of spicy "tuna" made from mashed chickpeas with the freshness of avocado, cucumber, and carrot. The sushi rice is seasoned with rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, and salt, creating a blend of sweet and savory.
