Sushi is a crowd favourite - it's delicious and nutritious. However, if you're on a low FODMAP diet, you have to be mindful of high fructose syrups (often used in the rice), crumbed or battered protein (often high in wheat), and sauces like teriyaki (which may contain garlic and/or onion), not to mention it's a pain to make at home!
This recipe is nutritious, delicious, and great to meal prep for lunches. It's also plant-based and FODMAP-friendly so everyone can enjoy! Another plus? This recipe is super versatile so feel free to experiment with other colourful ingredients!
