I highly recommend Veganomicon's Spicy Tempeh Sushi Rolls. They are super tasty but if you are only making it for yourself I suggest halving the recipe unless you either plan on eating a lot of sushi or putting the leftovers on crackers. She also suggests putting mashed sweet potatoes with maple syrup in them and that was delicious. I actually liked that more than the spicy tempeh.
Here's a link to the spicy tempeh recipe: http://www.theppk.com/2008/10/spicy-tempeh-roll/

Also, I have made the sushi roll salad from Appetite for Reduction and I think if I used fresher veg it would have turned out better. For a review of the recipe you can check out my blog:

Ooh that sounds really good for sushi. I've never really used tempeh like that but it sounds delicious. Thank you very much. ^^

When my friends and I make sushi, we like to cram a lot of different veggies into one roll. Also I highly recommend using short grain brown rice instead of white rice.

Vegetebles we like to use: DEFINITELY avocado, cut intro thin strips. (Everything in thin strips). Red bell pepper, asparagus, carrot shavings, cucumber, sprouts, marinated and sauteed portobello mushroom, yummy tempeh...

Oh yes - I forgot about using brown rice (I normally use it for onigiri). Those sound really delicious for sushi. Thank you all. ^^

My favourite kind of sushi is inari - the little rice-stuffed tofu pockets. So yummy.

I actually plan on making some inari next Wednesday, although the pockets will be fresh so I don't know how that will work out.

I tend to use cucumber, tomato, peppers, mango and pickled ginger in sushi fillings.

I love vegan sushi, although I've only eaten it in restaurants. I like the maki rolls that have lots of different ingredients in: things like spinach, carrot, avocado, peppers, cucumber, mushroom. My favourite sushi place in boston does maki rolls containing fried sweet potato, which I doubt is particularly authentic, but it's good. Shitake mushrooms have to be my favourite thing ever, so anything with those is a favourite.

That does sound good - maybe if I can find some Okinawan sweet potato it could work even better. :)
