SO HOW'D IT GO?
Okay. Rice cooker works wonders with the rice. I used to use the stovetop and find the stickiness to be perfect with the rice cooker!
Try sweet potatoes at least once! They are delicious!
And minced ginger added to the soy sauce is perfection!
Enjoy.
im not sure if anyone has the same qualms as i do about eating white rice, but for whatever reason i can't bring myself to eat the stuff. however, last time i tried to make sushi with brown rice, it wasn't terrible, but it didn't stick as well as i hoped it would. so last night, i tried it again, using the instructions from http://www.justhungry.com/2007/01/basics_cooking_japanese_style.html, and it came out great!!! wonderfully fluffy and sticky! i soaked it for about an hour, brought it to a boil (in a regular cheap-o pot, but i used the inverted plate trick under the lid), and let it simmer on low for another hour. i didn't even burn any on the bottom! oh and i use 2 sheets of nori, make a groove in the rice with wasabi, and place thin slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot in the groove, and roll it all up. hope this is helpful! great recipe! ;)b
wow, i cant wait to try this!
I used this recipe and a video from www.videojug.com to learn how to make veggie sushi. I'm so excited that I can finally make my own now, and I can't wait to experiement with different fillings. One question, does anyone have any idea how to make the rolls smaller (restaurant size)? Mine turned out great, but bigger than anything I've ever had when eating out.
the trick is getting the rice in as thin of a layer as possible...then you have skinnier, restaurant style rolls....it took me a few times before I somewhat got it down =)

I love sushi! I also add canned red morron pepper. Tastes delicious! thankz!
I like to use barely cooked carrots tempeh (soaked in soy sauce then browned) and avo. love vaggie sushi
My boyfriend and I love sushi and have gotten very good at rolling it. We buy tofutti "cream cheese" and we rol it with carrots, celery, and avocado to make vegan california rolls. I've also sateed shitaki mushrooms with a little oil, rice wine, soy sauce until they are brown and somewhat crystalyzed. This makes for a really wonderful sushi roll. If anyone's not interested in trying to make their own sushi rice, Whole Foods sells both white and brown fresh sushi rice which works really well. A friend of mine made sushi with sweet bean curd (canned in the Asian section of the supermarket) but it has MSG in it which gives me migraines. If you don't get that reaction, it is a tasty substitute for plain tofu. Happy eating cruelty free. ;)
does anybody have any tips for rolling sushi without a mat? help would be much appreciated.
I use a small kitchen towel (linen) and in a pinch I have used heavy duty paper toweling, the industrial type. It just aids in rolling, so the pressure is even and the edges don't tear.
to make it even better you can tempera the roll.(after its rolled up with everything in side) then the suchi is hot, and with hot sauce in top of that it is amazing.
