Did you have to use special sushi rice? Did you cook it with rice wine vinegar or something?

This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

No need for a special rice, I used some unlabeled short grain that has been in the pantry for a long time lol. I'm not saying I never buy glutinous Japonica rice, but it's expensive and I'm turbo cheap.
To season the rice I just used a commercially available seasoned rice vinegar (rice vinegar, sugar, salt, kelp, yeast extract) and I also added mirin. That's a very lazy and easy method but I've also made my own seasoning in a sauce pan to dissolve the sugar. I think the key components are vinegar, salt, sugar and mirin so if you find a recipe like that you're probably good. I learned to make sushi from home when I was a teen from a cookbook - I've been winging it for like 20 years since then, lol.
I've never cooked the rice with the seasoning and I think you would risk burning it because of the sugar. I made my rice in the rice cooker, then drizzled the seasoning on and used a paddle to incorporate.
I hope you try it out! Even if you just eat it in a bowl instead of making rolls it's delicious and quite easy to make at home.
I expected sushi made out of potatoes and am a little disappointed, ngl. Looks delish
this looks so good, omg
You can get crazy with it if the goal is vegan sushi!
Vegan Futomaki: Vegan tamagoyaki (I use sweetened tofu), shiitake mushroom, cucumber, carrot, pickled yellow radish. (Really whatever veggies you want)
Sweet Potato roll: cooked sweet potato, panko, avocado, spicy vegan mayo
Mango Avocado roll: Mango, avocado, mango sauce (just puree some mango with a touch of mirin and sweetener + water until it is right consistency)
Fried mushroom roll: Fried mushroom of your choice! (Shiitake, enoki, oyster). Add panko for some crunch and eel sauce for sweetness (eel sauce is vegan)
Pickled and cooked veggies are your friend! I’ve thrown in some veggies leftovers into a roll with eel sauce with great success :)
