About the Proteins: Vegan Seafood
Biology: Vegan seafood is typically made from ingredients like soy protein, pea protein, seaweed, and other plant-based sources and is designed to replicate the texture and flavor of traditional seafood.
Taste & Nutrition: Vegan seafood mimics the firm, delicate textures and rich, briny flavors of traditional seafood. The color and taste can vary depending on the ingredients and how you prepare it. Vegan seafood is an excellent source of plant-based protein and is often fortified with omega-3 fatty acids derived from algae.
Cooking: You can enjoy vegan seafood in a variety of dishes, such as vegan sushi, sashimi, seafood salads, sandwiches, tacos, and chowders. Its texture and flavor adapt well to different cooking methods, making it a popular choice for those seeking plant-based alternatives.
Sustainability: Vegan seafood is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional seafood, which can have significant impacts on ocean ecosystems due to overfishing and bycatch. By choosing vegan seafood, consumers support more sustainable food systems and reduce the demand for overfished species.

Directions
Thaw Boldly Crabsticks*, Salmon* Sashimi, and Tuna* Sashimi in the fridge overnight (approx. 8 hours).
Pre-boil the Crabsticks* for 3-4 minutes. Drain & set aside.
Once thawed, press the Salmon* Sashimi and Tuna* Sashimi with a firm amount of pressure to release the excess water before slicing. (This can be done with a tofu press or cutting board with manual pressure.)
Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions.
For the California Rolls: place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or a sheet of plastic wrap.
Spread a layer of cooked sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
Arrange one Crabstick*, two avocado slices, and two cucumber sticks in a row on top of the rice.
Roll the sushi tightly, using the sushi mat or plastic wrap to help shape it.
Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
For the nigiri: shape some of the cooked sushi rice into small balls, and some into small oblong blocks.
Thinly slice the thawed and pressed Boldly Salmon* Sashimi and arrange them on top of the rice.
For the handrolls: chop the thawed and pressed Tuna* Sashimi into small cubes.
Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or a sheet of plastic wrap.
Spread a layer of cooked sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange the chopped, thawed and pressed Tuna* Sashimi, avocado, and cucumber in a row on top of the rice.
Roll the sushi tightly, using the sushi mat or plastic wrap to help shape it into a cone shape.
Finally, arrange the various components on a plate and serve the Boldly Sushi Medley with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi for dipping. Enjoy!
