How many times have you gone to a sushi restaurant, ordered sushi with tiny pieces of avocado and cucumber and just wanted more? Well, try this homemade sushi with the works and you'll never want to go to a sushi restaurant again!
My bro is a HUGE fan of sushi and we passed this sushi by him and even he couldn't resist. The next week he went home and taught himself to make sushi just so he could recreate this with lots of veggies and a lot of variations. I'm not going to list out how to make sushi, because you can find lots of how to videos online...but what you won't see often is creativity with your sushi fillings. So here are some ideas for what to fill your sushi with:
Sushi Filling:
sliced avocados
sliced cucumbers
sliced and steamed or roasted sweet potatoes
finely sliced red peppers
sliced mangoes (my fav!)
This combo was amazing, but it's up to you to be creative. The touch of mango in the sushi added an exotic and unexpected flavor which I really loved......happy eating! :)
Mmmmm veggie sushi. Takes a bit of practice to stop the rolls falling apart, but I think nice lumpy home-made sushi rolls taste better than symmetrical restaurant ones anyway!
Fillings I like include...
spring onions (scallions)
apple matchsticks
fine shreds of organic lemon or orange rind (needs to be really fine or it's too bitter)
couple of dark salad leaves, eg spinach
alfalfa sprouts (sure they fall out and it's messy)
The fun is in the experimentation
