Sushi

[JesGuy]

Thought I'd share my lunch with everyone.

Instead of sticky rice, I used hummus to hold it together. A little salty. If anyone has any other ideas of something to replace the rice, i would appreciate it.

Also used imitation crab (which I realize is not RAW), so if anyone has an alternative, I'd appreciate that as well.

All in all, it turned out great. :eat

for the rice you can use finely chopped cauliflower.
For the crab, use a sunflower seed paste with lemon
Raw hemp seed can be used instead of sesame.

[JesGuy]

Cool!

But how do you make the cauliflower sticky?

[MysticTree]

i use a little honey!

[SunshineMN]

Could a little ground flax and water make it sticky?

[delmar]

Raw hemp seed can be used instead of sesame.

I heard someone say it is not legal to sprout hemp seed. It's not legal to sprout but legal to cook with is that correct?

[Traceyraw]

I read that on the sproutpeoples website. It is not legal to sprout. Commercially sold hemp seeds is not (sproutable). Or so they say. When it sprouts it produces the THC that why you are not allowed to sprout it.

[MysticTree]

I'm not talking about sprouting it just eating it!

I use shelled hemp which wouldn't sprout anyway.

[Cruditas]

3 c chopped jicama
1/4 c pine nuts
1 T sea salt
2 T rice wine vinegar or ACV
1 1/2 T agave nectar
Cut jicama in cubes and process the jicama and pinenuts in a food processor until the size of rice. Put into a nut milk bag or cheese cloth and squeeze until sort of dry. Add the remaining ingredients, fluff it up and there you have sushi rice.

I love avacados, marinated mushrooms, cucumber, carrots and bean sprouts in sushi rolls. The other nights I used sea kelp and cabbage in some with a ginger dressing to dip in.
The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!

[MysticTree]

I expect that would work too. I've never tried it coz it's not available as far as I know.

I understood that, but it raised a question in my mind.

[walnutty]

I use carrots!

I grind them up in the food processor until they are rice size. Then I add organic rice vinegar and agave, mix it up and put it in the dehydrator to absorb the liquid and soften the "rice"!

[walnutty]

I just made carrot "rice" so that I could make raw sushi when I got back from the gym! So yummy!

[Aleesha Sattva]

i always use avocado to make it all stick together. works GREAT.

[walnutty]

Mmmm...I use avocado too! Carrot rice and avocado slices and cuke slices is my favorite!

[walnutty]

Well, I was too tired to make sushi when I got home from the gym so I ate fresh strawberries with chocolate sauce (coconut butter, cacao and agave) instead!

[Aleesha Sattva]

I love avocado with mango slices and sprouts. It's delish!!!

[laughalways]

Thanks for the great sushi ideas! I love sushi.

[walnutty]

I love avocado with mango slices and sprouts. It's delish!!!


This is a combo I hadn't thought of and it sounds very delish! Gonna have to try it soon!

[ukso463]

avocado with mango slices ??

I will try that never thought of mixing avocado with mango

[Aleesha Sattva]

it's yummy!!! don't forget the sprouts... the sprouts MAKE the sushi IMO

[CaiHong]

I made sushi using nut pate, sunflower seeds,cashew nuts,celery and onion. I put in strips of carrot,cucumber,red pepper and avocado.
My friend asked me if wasabi is raw. Is it?

That's a cool idea. The gooey, fatty avocado probably holds it together nicely.

I tried making sushi the other night. What knives do you all use to cut the rolls? I ended up tearing my nori :(

[yoginat]

I often make sushi and use parsnip in the food processor until it looks like rice, some miso and sesame oil (just a little) - ok these last 2 are not completely raw but you may find something similar raw - its fantastic!

[MysticTree]

a large "wedge" shaped one does the trick. Use the full length of the knife to cut through going forwards with the knife.
