sushi Sushi SUSHI
I could really eat it every day. Have I said that before?
Today's sushi taste really great, but did not exactly go according to plan. I have been served brown rice sushi before, haven't you?
Hmm. I used regular brown rice. It was fine, although for this recipe I really wanted to do an outside roll - impossible without sticky sushi rice. I'll be trying this again very soon. I'm stubborn that way, thankyouverymuch Grandpa Z. 😉
Still. The filling? Amazing. I could and did eat this by itself. This is what I used:
Tofu:
Green onion:
My favorite, sriracha:
I mixed the sriracha with vegenaise, added it to tofu + onion:
After mixing, I tasted, then added a bit more sriracha:
Vegan Sushi Filling:
one block tofu
2 tablespoons Vegenaise
5 tablespoons sriracha sauce - or to your heat level
5 green onions, chopped
I made a pot of brown rice.
I gave up my designs on having outside rolls.
I was going to make outside rolls, and coat them in this:
This stuff is amazing.
I will do the outside roll...
Tonight, with the brown rice, I rolled traditional. I covered the nori sheet with rice, then sprinkled furikake, then added the vegan filling:
The sun was setting as we enjoyed our sushi.
This was fabulously delicious.
I want to do it again, Right Now.
Happy Friday, everyone. Have a fabulous weekend.

I was *thisclose* to buying sriracha last night at the grocery store, but somehow managed to talk myself out of it. Now I wish I had! x)

Thanks for checking out my blog! And you are brave to make your own sushi! I've always wanted to do that but I am too scared to try. Silly, I know...I could eat sushi every single day too. 🙂

Holy yum! That sushi looks great!! I've tried making my own sushi before, but I need sharper knives lol I kept just smooshing it!!
spabettie says
hee - yes, sharp knives are key. 🙂
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
These look so good. I want to make sushi rolls and have yet to get the nerve to try it - or buy all the stuff....
spabettie says
depending on what you make, it doesn't have to be a lot of stuff to buy...
a SHARP knife is absolutely more important than having a rolling mat - you could roll without it, I think...
a package of nori / seaweed is inexpensive, and hopefully sort of easy to find if you have access to an asian market?
the thought of it is MUCH more daunting than making it! 🙂 and it's FUN ! 🙂

You've impressed me yet again! And I smile every time you use Sriracha. We're like Sriracha sisters. Obsessed.
spabettie says
🙂 ! I thought of you as I was opening my new sriracha last night!!
saltytooth says
You make this look so easy, but I'm pretty sure I would mess it up!
spabettie says
it is really pretty easy. sharp knife is key - more important than the rolling mat...
and it's really fun!

Your sushi looks so pretty! The one time I tried to make sushi it was truly an epic fail. Maybe it's time to put on my big girl pants and try again 🙂
