Air Fryer Vegan Sushi Balls are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional sushi. They are made with a combination of rice, vegetables, and seasonings. They are then rolled into balls, and air-fried to create a crispy, flavorful appetizer or snack.
How to Make Air Fryer Sushi Balls
Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water and bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped carrot, cucumber, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well.
Using wet hands, roll the mixture into small balls. Place a small piece of nori on each ball, then place the balls into the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the balls are crispy and golden brown.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
