Vegetarian Sushi

Cooking is not one of my talents (trust me!) And raw fish is not something I usually enjoy. But ever since my trip to Japan... I love sushi.
One interesting fact- sushi does NOT have to contain raw fish. It is the idea of cooked sticky rice, usually rolled with seaweed.

If you want to make some veggie sushi grab some of this:

Short grain white sushi rice (asian markets are the best place to get this, or Walmarthas Jasmine rice...which will suffice)
Veggies- I used avacado, carrots, cucumber and some cream cheese...yum!
If you want to add meat, use some tuna, or crab meat! (since my two vegetarian friends wanted to try this, I left out the extra meat!)
Raosted Seaweed (Nori)

I use a rice cooker to make my sticky rice. Rinse it out a few times first. If you remember (I often forget) put in a couple tablespoons of rice vingar, and a pinch of salt and sugar. I always add an extra cup of water to the rice as well. While it is cooking, chop up your veggies into long thing strips.

When your rice is done, lay out your seaweed, and start spreading the rice on top

Lay in your veggies

And roll it up!

Simply cut it into thick slices

And you've got yourself some sushi!

If you want to make a japanese meal out of it. You can also pick up "Miso paste" at the asian market for Miso Soup (and tofu if you like tofu) and my all-time favorite part....edamae! (soy beans) You can find them in your frozen veggie section typically.
