Directions
These sushi wraps are best enjoyed freshly made, but you can prep the veggies and spicy mayo ahead of time for a super speedy assembly. For extra crunch, serve with pickled ginger or daikon on the side. For a nut-free and soy-free version, ensure your vegan mayo is aquafaba- or pea-protein based. Lotus root can be found in Asian markets; if unavailable, thinly sliced radish or jicama makes a great substitute.
