4. Vegan

Vegetarian sushi recipe -

cucumber

zucchini

green bell pepper

red bell pepper

carrots

daikon radish

asparagus

scallions

mushrooms

sesame seeds

avocado fresh spinach

2/3 cup rice wine vinegar

6 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 package pre-toasted nori sheets

Prepared wasabi paste

Preparation: Bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, lower the heat, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Seed and julienne the cucumber, and julienne the vegetables. Steam these vegetables, except avacado which should be raw, over boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Mix together the vinegar and brown sugar, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. When the rice is cooked, stir in the vinegar and brown sugar mixture, and cool to room temperature.

When the vegetables and rice are cool enough to handle, lay out the first nori sheet. Place a handful of rice in the center of the sheet, moisten your hands with water, and gently but firmly press the rice to the edges of the sheet so that there is a thin layer of rice in a line on the sheet. Spread a bit of wasabi paste on top of the rice, approximately 1 1/2" from one edge of the nori sheet. Lay vegetable strips parallel to the wasabi in a width of approximately 1" along the wasabi line.

Carefully wrap the closest edge over the vegetables, then roll the nori delicately but tightly. Seal by moistening the edge of the nori. Once the nori sheet is completely rolled, slice the roll into 6 pieces and arrange on a platter. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets.

Makes 6 rolls.

Top Tip #1: If your nori rolls won't stay rolled, try "sealing" the seam with a little brown rice syrup. To make rolling easier and prevent the nori sheets from tearing, use an inexpensive bamboo sushi mat--available in Japanese markets and many health food stores.

Top Tip #2: If you can't find pre-toasted nori sheets, toast your own by briefly passing the sheets over direct heat (such as a stove flame) to crisp them.

Answer:

Technically, "sushi" refers to the vinegared rice (su:vinegar, shi (from meshi): rice), but the common use of the word it is presently defined a food made of rice, seaweed and fish or shellfish. As a consequence vegetarians will find the food unacceptable.

Answer 3

Of course! Look for any type of vegetable roll on the menu. A typical roll will be a veggie roll, cucumber roll, avocado roll, etc. Just double check to make sure that the rolls you order don't come with a sauce which main contain fish or fish eggs, if that is something you'd like to avoid.
