Vegetarian Sushi
6 cups water
3 cups short-grain brown or white rice
Any combination of the following vegetables:
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.
Culinary Clarification: What's wasabi? A powder that can be made into a strong Japanese horseradish paste. Nori is a green sea vegetable sold in sheets. Both are available in Japanese markets and health food stores.
Hope that helps =]
California rolls are vegetarian. Rice, vinegar, avacado, cucubmber and nori rolls.
If you want a raw vegan treat, try this one. I enjoy Nori Rolls from the book "How We All Went Raw" by the Nungesser siblings:
1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1 tsp. minced ginger root
1 avocado, mashed
1 Tbsp. Nama Shoyo or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
Mix ingredients, and wrap like a burrito in raw nori sheets. Wet the edge to seal the wrap, and then enjoy!
well not really a recipe but white rice, seaweed, toasted sesame seeds, avocado, carrots, and cucumber is yummy! i love it or just avocado is even better!
