Rich and I really love that simple sushi that you can buy at the grocery store. I haven't been adventurous enough to try anything else but the california rolls and avocado rolls are delicious. We have been able to find them both made with brown rice instead of white at Whole Foods and our new favorite Whole Foods-type store, Central Market. But, the brown rice is made into sticky rice with rice wine vinegar and sugar, neither of which we are supposed to be eating. We discovered the seaweed nori at Central Market on Sunday and, on a whim, we bought a pack. Today for lunch we tried it out with brown rice, guacamole made my mom's way (with lemon juice and onion) and shrimp cut into pieces. Here is the pictorial story:
I'm sure that if you've made sushi you're screaming at this point that you don't cut it first. I realized that AFTER I cut the first two pieces into strips but BEFORE I tried to roll them...yay!
The rice wasn't sticky enough even though I tried to use extra water so I just mixed the guacamole, shrimp, and rice together and then spread it over the seaweed, rolled it, wet the end of the seaweed so it would stick, then cut it into rolls.
And, voila! Sushi rolls on pretty plates! I even got a little extra guacamole to go with my rice chips on the side.
Ruby and Otis didn't care.
