a spread or condiment of choice (hummus, ketchup, mashed avo, vegan pesto…)
tomato slices
spinach
a couple heaping tbsp of homemade vegan cheese mix per sandwich

for the cheese mix:

2 ¼ tbsp tapioca starch + 2 tbsp water

½ cup soy cream (125ml)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast

a pinch of chili flakes
¼ tsp garlic powder, or more to taste

yields enough cheese for 1 big sandwich or 2 smaller ones

#7 Sesame Rice Balls w spicy hummus sauce

these measurements are all very much eyeballed lol

1-2 cups of cooked and cooled sticky rice (200-400g) (If you cook ½ cup of dried rice (90g) in about 1 cup water you’ll get about 1 ½ cup cooked rice which should be enough to create about 6 rice balls)
if you didn’t cook the rice in salted water, add salt to the cooled rice later
1 tsp rice vinegar, or to taste
optional: 1 tsp sesame oil (very yummy adding the oil, makes it harder to roll these into balls though)

⅓ – ½ cup sesame seeds, toasted in a non stick pan without oil for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat, stirring frequently (45g-70g)
chopped smoked tofu or cucumber, add these pieces to the centre of each ball, press them together tightly before rolling them in the sesame seeds
