Vegetarian Star

Australian cricketer Peter Siddle became vegetarian on the advice of a girlfriend.

His team mates know where he stands and are used to him requesting plant-based food or meals with modifications while on the road or dining out together.

They must respect his diet because he hasn’t earned any derogatory nicknames for it.

But the next time they order out together, he may jokingly be asked if he’s getting the veggie crab dish.

The reference refers to a time when the guys were eating out and Siddle got a surprise in what he thought was a vegetable roll.

What Bollywood star has only recently discovered vegetarian sushi?

None other than Shahid Kapoor.

Co-star Vir Das from his latest film, Badmaash Company, is responsible for the addiction.

While shooting for the film, the two would often go out for dinner together and the same cuisine always got suggested.

“It turned out to be a big hit with Shahid and every night they all went out to a new sushi place,” said a source.

“I don’t think Shahid had eaten sushi before. I took everybody to one of the best sushi places in Bangkok that had a wide vegetarian selection,” Vir said. “I love sushi. It’s healthy, it’s fast and tasty too.”

When making vegetarian sushi at home, don’t forget to peruse Mark Bittman’s tips for doing so.

Mark Bittman is famous for his flexitarian approach to eating and in a recent column in the New York Times, Bittman shares with readers how to make sushi without the fish.

Sushi without the seafood is not only vegetarian friendly, but budget friendly and Bittman points this out in the article.

“Think about it: sushi without seafood, sushi without restaurants and sushi without spending $80 a person. It’s an appealing option,” he writes.

Vegetarians already know that nori seaweed strips make great wraps and although not every non seafood option Bittman gives is vegetarian, there is an abundance of vegetables and vegetarian protein to try like fried tofu, raw or seared tofu, avocado, mushrooms and eggplants.

Bittman says that when buying nori, look for sheets with darker colors and fewer holes.

And eat right away for a crispy sushi experience–as soon as nori touches moisture, it begins to soften.

Audrey Kitching revealed what foods she is crazy about in a recent interview.

“I am obsessed with Mexican food. I could eat it every single meal..oh and sushi! I am a Vegan right now. No dairy no meat no fish. It is hard but I feel great so it is well worth it.”

From her comment, it almost sounds as if Audrey had to give up one of her favorite foods to become vegan.

But anyone who rolls the Nori knows, there’s no raw fish (or cooked for that matter) required to get your sushi high.

Seasoned tempeh, tofu, or plain vegetables make the experience just as good and don’t deplete the oceans of marine wildlife.

The vegan punks in the kitchen have kindly offered their advice on making vegan sushi, along with a few recipes of vegan goodies to replace fish.

Let’s roll with it.
