- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 small onion, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh [parsley](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=parsley), chopped
- 1 tsp [smoked paprika](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=smoked%20paprika)
- 1/2 tsp [garlic powder](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=garlic%20powder)

- 2-3 tbsp [olive oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=olive%20oil) for frying

#### Equipment

- Medium saucepan with lid
- Large mixing bowl
- Non-stick skillet or frying pan
- Spatula

---

### Step-by-Step Instructions

1.  **Cook the Quinoa:** Rinse the [quinoa](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=quinoa) thoroughly under cold water. Combine 1 cup rinsed quinoa with 2 cups water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor) in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool completely.
2.  **Prepare Aromatics:** While the quinoa cools, finely mince the onion and garlic. In a small pan, sauté the minced onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of [olive oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=olive%20oil) over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3.  **Mix Ingredients:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cooked quinoa, sautéed onion and garlic, chopped [parsley](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=parsley), [chickpea flour](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chickpea%20flour), water, [smoked paprika](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=smoked%20paprika), [garlic powder](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=garlic%20powder), [onion powder](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=onion%20powder), [Himalayan salt](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=himalayan%20salt), and [black pepper](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=black%20pepper). Mix well until everything is evenly combined and the mixture can hold its shape when pressed.
4.  **Form the Patties:** Take about 1/4 cup of the mixture and gently press it into a firm patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should get 8-10 patties.
5.  **Cook the Patties:** Heat 1-2 tablespoons of [olive oil](https://www.abillion.com/products/il-casolare-grezzo-naturale-olive-oil-10171194) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it (cook in batches if necessary).
6.  **Achieve Crispiness:** Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and **beautifully crispy**.
7.  **Serve and Enjoy:** Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, alongside a fresh salad, or as a plant-based alternative to burger patties.

---

### Serving Suggestions

These versatile patties are fantastic on their own, but here are some popular ways to enjoy them:

-   **Salad Topper:** Crumble them over your favorite greens for an added protein boost and satisfying crunch.
-   **Appetizer:** Serve with a dollop of [hummus](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=hummus) or a zesty vegan [mayonnaise](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=mayonnaise).
-   **Mini Sliders:** Place them in small buns with your favorite vegan toppings.
-   **Protein Bowl:** Add them to a grain bowl with roasted vegetables and a flavorful sauce.

---

### Tips & Variations

-   **Extra Crispy Tip:** For an even crispier exterior, you can lightly coat the formed patties in a small amount of extra [chickpea flour](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chickpea%20flour) or gluten-free breadcrumbs before frying.
-   **Egg-Free Alternative:** If you prefer, you can use a flax egg as a binder instead of [chickpea flour](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chickpea%20flour). Combine 2 tablespoons of [flaxseed meal](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=flaxseed) with 6 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
-   **Flavor Boosters:**
    -   Add 1/4 cup grated zucchini or carrots to the mixture for extra veggies.
    -   Incorporate a pinch of [chili flakes](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chili%20flakes) for a spicy kick.
    -   Try different herbs like cilantro or dill for a fresh twist.
-   **Meal Prep Friendly:** These patties are fantastic for meal prepping! Cook a batch at the beginning of the week and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a pan for renewed crispiness or in the oven.

Inspired by: [@abillion](https://www.abillion.com/users/abillion)

Craving a **delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make Japanese-inspired meal** that fits your busy schedule? Look no further than this **high-protein Vegan Teriyaki Tempeh Onigirazu!** This unique "rice sandwich" is a fantastic alternative to traditional onigiri, packed with flavor and plant-based goodness. It's perfect for quick lunches, meal prep, or a satisfying snack on the go.

This fantastic healthy dish is incredibly easy to prep, making it ideal for people with busy schedules. As one delighted comment shared, it "Looks scrumptious!" and another exclaimed, "It looks delicious!" It truly is "Super neat!" as a third user noted. This recipe was shared with the abillion community by Kumi King, a former food instructor at the Sayuri Healing Food Academy in Bali, whose mission is to improve health by incorporating fermented plant-based foods like tempeh into everyday life.

Whether you're new to plant-based eating or a seasoned vegan, this Teriyaki Tempeh Onigirazu offers a delightful culinary experience that's **naturally dairy-free, egg-free, and can easily be made gluten-free** (just use tamari instead of soy sauce). Get ready to enjoy a taste of Japan that nourishes your body and keeps you energized!

---

## What is Onigirazu?

Onigirazu is essentially a Japanese rice sandwich or wrap. Unlike the more traditional onigiri (rice balls), onigirazu is typically made by wrapping rice and various fillings in a large sheet of nori seaweed, then cutting it in half to reveal the colorful layers inside. It's less about shaping and more about stacking, making it incredibly versatile and simple to assemble.

---

## Ingredients

### For the Teriyaki Tempeh
- 200g [tempeh](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=tempeh), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons [soy sauce](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=soy%20sauce) (or [tamari](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=tamari) for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon [maple syrup](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=maple%20syrup) (or [brown sugar](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=brown%20sugar))
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon [sesame oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=sesame%20oil)
- 1/2 tablespoon [cooking oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=cooking%20oil) for pan-frying

### For the Onigirazu Assembly
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice (cooled)
- 2 large [nori sheets](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=nori%20sheets)
- 1/2 [avocado](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=avocado), sliced
- 1/4 [cucumber](no-link-for-cucumber), thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded [carrots](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=carrots)
- 1/2 cup fresh [baby spinach](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=baby%20spinach)
- 2 tablespoons [vegan mayonnaise](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=vegan%20mayonnaise) (optional)
- [Sesame seeds](no-link-for-sesame-seeds) for garnish (optional)

---

## Equipment

- Large non-stick pan
- Small bowl for sauce
- Sharp knife
- Plastic wrap
- Cutting board

---

## Instructions

1.  **Prepare the Tempeh:** In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), mirin, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
2.  **Cook the Tempeh:** Heat cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced tempeh and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
3.  **Glaze the Tempeh:** Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tempeh in the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, flipping the tempeh occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the tempeh well. Remove from heat and set aside.
4.  **Assemble the Onigirazu:** Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Place one nori sheet diagonally on top of the plastic wrap.
5.  **Add Rice Layers:** Spread a thin, even layer of about 1/2 cup of cooked sushi rice in the center of the nori sheet, forming a square.
6.  **Add Fillings:** Layer half of the baby spinach, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and teriyaki tempeh on top of the rice. If using, drizzle with vegan mayonnaise.
7.  **Add Top Rice Layer:** Top the fillings with another thin layer of 1/2 cup of cooked sushi rice, ensuring the layers are centered.
8.  **Fold the Onigirazu:** Bring one corner of the nori sheet over the rice and fillings, folding it tightly to the opposite corner. Repeat with the other three corners, bringing them to the center and pressing gently to form a compact square packet.
9.  **Wrap and Rest:** Wrap the entire onigirazu tightly in the plastic wrap. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the nori to soften and the flavors to meld.
10. **Slice and Serve:** Using a sharp knife, cut the wrapped onigirazu in half diagonally (or straight across) to reveal the beautiful layers. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Repeat for the second onigirazu.

---

## Variations and Adaptations

-   **Gluten-Free:** Ensure you use [tamari](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=tamari) instead of traditional soy sauce for the teriyaki marinade.
-   **Extra Protein:** Add a layer of [edamame](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=edamame) or crumbled [firm tofu](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=firm%20tofu) for an even bigger protein boost.
-   **Veggie Boost:** Incorporate other thinly sliced vegetables like bell peppers, red cabbage, or blanched asparagus.
-   **Spicy Kick:** Add a dash of [sriracha](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=sriracha) or a pinch of [chili flakes](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chili%20flakes) to your vegan mayonnaise or directly into the teriyaki sauce.
-   **Different Flavors:** Experiment with different marinades for the tempeh, such as a peanut sauce or a spicy gochujang glaze, for a completely different flavor profile.

---

## Tips & Hacks

-   **Perfect Rice:** Use freshly cooked, slightly warm sushi rice. It's stickier and easier to work with. If your rice is too hot, it can make the nori soggy.
-   **Tight Wrap:** Don't be afraid to press firmly when folding the nori and wrapping with plastic wrap. A tight wrap ensures your onigirazu holds its shape beautifully when sliced.
-   **Sharp Knife for Clean Cuts:** A very sharp, damp knife is key to clean cuts that don't tear the nori or squish the fillings. Wipe the knife blade between cuts for the best results.
-   **Meal Prep Marvel:** This recipe is fantastic for meal prep! Make a batch on Sunday, wrap them individually, and store them in the fridge for quick and healthy lunches throughout the week. They typically stay fresh for 2-3 days.

-   1 tbsp [olive oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=olive%20oil)
-   Salt to taste
-   [Black pepper](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=black%20pepper) to taste

### For the Zesty Gremolata:

-   1/2 cup fresh [parsley](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=parsley), finely chopped
-   1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
-   Zest of 1 [lemon](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=lemon%20juice)
-   1 tbsp fresh [lemon juice](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=lemon%20juice)
-   2 tbsp [extra virgin olive oil](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=extra%20virgin%20olive%20oil)
-   Pinch of salt
-   Pinch of black pepper

## Equipment

-   Grill (outdoor or indoor grill pan)
-   Mixing bowls
-   Small grater or zester
-   Sharp knife and cutting board

## Instructions

1.  **Prepare the Carrots:** Trim the ends off the carrots. If they are thick, you can halve them lengthwise. In a bowl, toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2.  **Preheat Grill:** Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3.  **Grill Carrots:** Place the seasoned carrots on the hot grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender-crisp and nicely charred with grill marks. Cooking time will vary based on carrot thickness and grill heat.
4.  **Make Gremolata:** While carrots are grilling, combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
5.  **Serve:** Transfer the grilled carrots to a serving platter. Spoon the fresh gremolata generously over the warm carrots. Serve immediately and enjoy!

## Variations & Adaptations

*   **Herb Twist:** Experiment with other fresh herbs in your gremolata, such as fresh mint, cilantro, or a touch of rosemary for a different flavor profile.
*   **Spicy Kick:** Add a pinch of red [chilli flakes](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=chilli%20flakes) to the gremolata for a bit of heat.
*   **Nutty Crunch:** For added texture, finely chop a tablespoon of toasted [pine nuts](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=pine%20nuts) or [walnuts](https://www.abillion.com/explore?section=products&q=walnuts) and mix them into the gremolata.
*   **Different Cooking Methods:** If you don't have a grill, you can roast the carrots in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or air fry them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.

## Tips & Hacks

*   **Perfect Grill Marks:** For distinct grill marks, make sure your grill is hot enough and avoid moving the carrots too much once placed on the grates.
*   **Carrot Size Matters:** Try to use carrots of similar size for even cooking. If some are much thicker, consider slicing them in half lengthwise.
*   **Freshness is Key:** The success of gremolata relies on fresh, vibrant ingredients. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and good quality olive oil for the best taste.
