Steps:
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, then flavor with the seasoned rice vinegar, stirring to distribute. Let sit until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill pan on medium heat.
- Add the asparagus, peppers and shiitake mushrooms to a bowl, then toss with the olive oil. Season with 2 teaspoons soy sauce and a pinch of pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning as needed, until lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Halve the asparagus, then set aside. Slice the peppers and mushrooms into thin strips.
- Present the grilled vegetables on a platter, along with the cabbage, carrot, cucumber and avocado, and allow everyone to build their own hand rolls.
- To make the hand rolls: Lay a halved nori sheet, shiny-side down, on a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of the sushi rice to the left edge of the nori and flatten slightly. Top with the desired vegetables. Bring the bottom left corner up and over the fillings to the top edge of the rectangle, creating a cone. Now roll the cone down the remaining strip of nori. Use a couple grains of rice to secure the nori to itself to help keep it rolled. Drizzle the top with the sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Serve alongside the ginger and soy sauce for dipping.
GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE SANDWICHES WITH PESTO

Steps:
- Slice the zucchini and summer squash lengthwise, 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch wide strips. Lay in a roomy baking dish.
- Make the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Pour over the veggies and toss gently. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pesto. First, toast the walnuts (an optional but worthwhile step - toasting adds wonderful flavor). To toast, set a small pan over medium heat and add the walnuts. Stir frequently until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add to the pitcher of a blender or a food processor fitted with the s-blade. Add the basil, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, nutritional yeast or Parmesan if using, and salt. Turn on the blender or food processor, streaming in the olive oil as it runs, until a sauce forms. Taste pesto and add additional salt if desired.
- Prepare your grill - medium direct heat, about 375 degrees. Lay the vegetables on the preheated grill grates and cook until grill lines form, about 5 minutes. Flip (we like to use long-handled tongs) and cook on the other side until tender and cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Transfer from the grill to a platter. Keep the grill on to quickly toast the rolls.
- Slice the rolls in half and brush the insides with the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Lay the rolls cut-side down on the grill and cook just until warmed and a little golden and toasty. Remove from grill.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Smear both sides of the roll with approx. 1 tablespoon of pesto on each side (more or less to taste). Add a layer of zucchini, summer squash, and two or three strips of the pepper. Close, cut in half, and serve!
