Simple SushiIngredients (use vegan versions): sheets of nori (seaweed; can be purchased in Asian or health food stores)
grated carrot
julienned scallion
leftover cooked rice
washed, torn fresh spinach
rice vinegar
minced scallion
Directions:Sprinkle the rice with rice vinegar - not too much!
Lay out a sheet of nori, flat, on your work surface. Put a strip of rice on it, at end end. Add veggies of your choice.
Roll up tight, encasing the veggies and rice within the nori. Slice the nori rolls into 2 long rolls for eating.
Dip in wasabi (Japanese horseradish), pickled ginger, Chinese mustard, or seasoned rice vinegar.
Notes:
You can do LOTS of things with this. Any vegetables that are good raw will go nicely - just chop them small enough to roll easily. Toasted sesame seeds can be added for a little crunch. Marinated tofu can be used, if you like it.
Serves: varies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
This is a great, easy idea. I've been wrapping plain carrot in my seaweed then dipping in sauce. This sounds like so much more fun. I can't wait to try it

Sushi is best made with sushi rice. It is higher in starch and sticks better. Also a tablespoon or two of vegan sugar helps. Be sure to let the rice cool completely before rolling. Try suchi with avacadoes and cucumbers (julienned).

You must not forget that rice vinigar is needed to give the proper flavor and consistency to the rice, also, I noticed that wasabi was not mentioned and is a wonderfull substance to use with sushi, mix a little with soya-sauce or take plain

Yeah, sushi rice is best, it sticks so well! I like to wrap with the rice outside. I usually use sauteed shitake mushrooms, avocado, cucumbers..the possibilities are endless. And I like to use Braggs instead of plain soy sauce. Gotta love that WASABI, too!

Hi all! I was just wondering if rice vinegar was the same as rice wine vinegar. Thanks!
