Homemade Vegetarian Sushi

Author: Generations of Savings

Ingredients

  • Sushi Rice Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups sushi rice will make around 4-5 rolls
  • 2-4 T rice wine vinegar approx
  • 2-4 t table sugar approx
  • Sushi Ingredients:
  • Nori Sheets
  • The fillings of your choice

Instructions

  • To make the sushi rice:
  • Take 1.5 cups sushi rice and rinse thoroughly. Cook according to package directions.
  • Add a few tablespoons of Rice Vinegar and a few teaspoons of table sugar to the fully cooked rice and mix thoroughly.
  • Taste and make sure it's not too vinegary or too sweet and adjust accordingly.
  • To make the sushi:
  • Simply spread the sushi rice along the bottom 3/4 of the sheet of nori. Try and make it a relatively thin layer, but if you're a novice it's not at all uncommon to make some seriously gargantuan rolls of sushi.
  • Take the ingredients you wish to use and lay them along the length of the nori sheet centered on the rice area.
  • Once you have the fillings the way you want them, dampen the top of the nori where there is no rice (to help it stick) and use the sushi mat to roll the nori/rice over the fillings. Be sure and tuck the edge over the fillings so that it will roll up all the way to the dampened edge of the nori.
  • Once you've got the nori into a log-shape, use the bamboo mat and your hands to firm it up (put the mat over the 'log' and gently press along its length).
  • Now with a gentle sawing motion -pressing will flatten your roll- cut the log in half, then each half again, then half again.
  • This will leave you eight delicious, glorious pieces of sushi.
