I am watching Alissa's DVD and in Chapter 5, 1hr and 15 minutes into DVD 1, she says you can eat Sushi.
Does she mean real sushi?

Well, real sushi with rice is not ok, because that has cooked rice and such. You can make raw vegan sushi with veggies and pates and nori, dip it in homemade wasabi & nama shoyu - soooooo delicious. If you are so inclined, you could eat sashimi, which is raw fish(edit:not that you should) with no rice, but not vegan (just stating the facts, don't kick me off the board! LOL).

California Rolls

The Perfect "Rice"
1 and 3/4 cups peeled fresh parsnips
3 tbs. mac nuts
3 tbs. pine nuts
1 tbs. flax or hemp seed oil
1 1/2 tbs. agave nectar
2 tbs. lemon juice
1-2 pinches celtic sea salt
1 tbs. raw soy sauce or south river miso

Process in the food processor until rice-like. Set aside.

Marinated Veggies:
Cucumber
Carrott
Zuchini
Red Pepper
Mushrooms

Use a mandolin and cut veggies into small matchsticks
Marinate everything for 1-2 hrs. in
3 tbs. sesame oil
1 tbs. black sesame seeds
1 tbs. raw soy sauce or 2 pinches of salt
2 tbs. lemon juice



Extras
1 avocado julienned
1/2 cup sprouts (ginger sprouts are yummy, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower sprouts, etc..)

10 Steps to Making Sushi
Step 1: Take a sheet of nori and place it onto a clean smooth surface.
Step 2: Spread 2-3 tbs. of the rice mixture on to 1/4th of the nori sheet.
Step 3: Make a little indent and put 1-2 tbs. of the marinated veggies on top.
Step 4: Top that with a few pieces of the julienned avocado.
Step 5: Take 2 pinches of the sprouts and place it on the avocado and the rice.
Step 6: Get a mini spray bottle or a pastry brush with a bit of water with a pinch of sea salt, and brush the top part of the sushi.
Step 7: Roll it up! You can roll the sushi with a sushi mat or use your fingers. I li ke to use my fingers. Use your thumbs and fingers and roll it up, when rolling, tighten the roll everytime.
Step 8: Let the roll sit for 5 minutes before cutting.
Step 9: Using a serrated knife cut the nori roll into 5-6 equal parts. Use a see-saw motion with a serrated knife to make it a perfect smooth cut.
Step 10: Place nori rolls on a platter and garnish with garlic chives, edible flowers, sesame seeds. Serve with freshly grated wasabi and raw soy sauce.


Wow these are so good, and so filling with nut/parsnip rice. I could only eat 6 for dinner and I was stuffed.

Veronica, that sounds so yummy!

I haven't made homemade raw sushi in so long!!!

[appifanie]

i try so hard but i still hate nori.

and the word "real" makes me cranky.

and the word "real" makes me cranky.

LOL!!! I felt this way when I was breastfeeding, and people would say, "So when are you going to start giving him real milk."

Cause, like, milk from a human isn't real. :rolleyes:

[Veronica01]

lol. I would never eat nori by itself, but when you let the whole roll up sit in the fridge and firm and dry up and then cut it, it's really easy and not slimy and gross.

Also the rice tastes awesome if you add a little date to it, and it's like sweet nut "rice" I didn't even need to dunk it in anything, it tasted great having sweet rice with the salty veggies and creamy avocado.
