Homemade Vegan Sushi

Last year, I visited my friends in Toronto and we had a homemade sushi night. It was my first time making sushi and I was shocked by the simplicity of the process. You can customize the filling to your preference, making it easy to please everyone. At first glance it may look difficult, but trust me when I say you need to try it for yourself.
