Instructions
1. In a stockpot, add 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of water with 5 cups of brown rice, bring to a boil, stir, turn the heat to low and cover. Cook until the water has evaporated. Turn the heat off and leave the rice covered with the lid.
2. Cut nori sheets into 6 equal squares and set aside. Cut scallions on a bias using green and white parts. Cut carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into matchsticks. Peel garlic and ginger then cut into small dice (minced).
3. In a mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the minced garlic and ginger along with 1/2 cup each of the following: Korean red chili paste (2 tablespoons), mirin, agave nectar, low sodium soy sauce, and 1 cup vegan mayonnaise. Add Old Bay seasoning. Combine all ingredients and set aside.
4. Drain the liquid from the hearts of palm, add to a food processor, pulse on low until the mixture is crumbly in texture. Be careful not to pulse too long; this should only take about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the hearts of palm mixture to the mixing bowl with the mayonnaise mixture and gently mix until completely combined.
