  • 1 tsp ground seaweed or seaweed flakes
  • 4 tbsp tamari *
  • 4 tbsp white rice vinegar

Instructions

  • In a large airtight container, add watermelon, seaweed, tamari, white rice vinegar and sesame oil. Put on the lid and shake gently to distribute the seasonings.
  • Place in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, preheat oven to 250ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place all the cubes on the parchment paper. Reserve the sauce to use in another recipe such as an Asian sauté or a pad thai.
  • Bake for 2 hours, flipping the cubes halfway through.
  • After 2 hours, increase oven temperature to 350ºF and bake for 5 more minutes, until slightly charred.
  • Transfer into an airtight container, close and place in the fridge until cold.
  • Once cold, and right before serving, mix vegan mayo and sriracha together and add into the container with your watermelon. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately in vegan sushi, in a vegan poké bowl or even as a garnish on an avocado toast.

Notes

* Feel free to substitute tamari with soy sauce.
