Vegan Quinoa Sushi Rolls
This unique alternative to traditional sushi is a great tasting way to get both carbs, protein! The quinoa grain is a complete protein as well as a healthy carb!

- Vegan butter: 1 Tbsp
- Avocado (sliced): 1
- Salt: 1 Tsp
- Quinoa, dry: 1 cup
- Nori sheets: 4

Directions:
- Cook the quinoa in frying pan until turns light golden and then rinse it until the water is running clear
- Cook the quinoa in the water/broth with the salt for about 15 or 20 minutes, then stir in the vegan butter. Allow to cool before moving to the large bowl, allowing to cool further
- Laying one nori sheet on the bamboo mat, place approx 1/4 of the quinoa in a line on the edge closest to you
- Place the avocado next to the quinoa, then top with desired amount of sesame seeds
